60's/70's muscle car/domestic sedan handling question (pro touring?)

A question for those of you with 60's and 70's muscle car, and similar domestic sedans, experience.

How well can you get them to handle and stop, relative to modern sedan type cars, with all the upgrade stuff available today: eg 4/5 link setups, coilovers, Watts linkage, complete replacement IFS setups (double wishbone), disc brake kits, chassis connectors/stiffeners, power steering kits etc etc.

Toying with idea of a "big three" classic station wagon - with modernised engine (efi), suspension and brakes. Thinking it could tow my race car and also be a fun kiddie and dog hauler. The ikon derelict cars seem to be the high water mark for this.

However, I have no real experience with this type of car. As one example, the before and after reviews for hotchkis kits seem very positive but I don't have a feel for how bad the 'before' was.
