The best way to add $10k in value to your car is to spend $20k.

 That's just funny!  :smilielol:   but so true! :2thumbs:

Great looking car!  I would just drive and enjoy it.  You can always fix up the little things as time and money permit, but do it because you want to correct those things due to they bug you not because it will bring value to the car.  :thumbsup:  :burnout:

 Work on the squeaks, rattles, and mechanical stuff for now. You will get a feel for where you want to go from there.

I agree!
I've managed to get from someone on this site a real 440 fan to replace the "finger cutting"  aftermarket one and a brake booster (not cuda correct) to convert to power break.
I intend to remove the tranny soon to have it checked. Move the battery up front. I'm still hesitating on the GM style distributor.
Someone in this tread mentioned an original radio on ebay for 100$! rusted out ones are 250 $ from what I see.

Shaker hood is still too expensive for now.

Love all the input. Thanks

I'll post interior pictures later.
