Electrical is about as simple as it gets. There is hardly any.

Engine and trans are of course very simple.

And, as a bonus, these cars are really starting to increase in value, so you'll have something worth a little when you are done, esp. if you restore it to stock configuration.
You get the gold star. Cheap, easy & more fun than a weekend with Britney Spears!

A 73 or 73 2.0 would be my recommendation. Prepare for rust.
