I don't think these cars have alot of value restored unless it was a K code 4 speed. It is good in a way. I finally do not feel bad cutting mine if I want. I sold all my sports coupe stuff since mine will never be stock again. A fuel injected 302 and AOD plus disc brakes only adds value to these in my opinion. Make it yours and have fun with it. You can always paint the dash. Copy some of the Thunder bolt stuff and use a fiberglass bumper and tear drop hood.
