It's nice to see a proper project around here again. My car is black, and it looks great, but I truly wish it was a dark green and think about wrapping it all the time.
Restoration? Hot rod? Backdate?
What's your plan for the body work? As someone who found a massive surprise behind the dash of an otherwise great-looking car bought sight-unseen, I highly recommend you don't screw around here. It'll cost you a grand to get it on a Cilette bench (none other will do—ask me how I know), but I would want to know exactly what I was about to sink my time and money into before I did.
There are a lot of ways to go with a motor, particularly if you're willing to do this kind of work yourself. It's hard to beat the instant torque of a 3.6, but the bang for buck seems to be a modern 3.2 turbo setup (or so I've read). In California, you'll have to contend with smog, so if you want to register it here, I'd keep it stock, stock, stock.
