Black on black 1968 Firebird all aluminum 428 or 455 block with 10:1 compression since I would be able to fill her up with the good stuff! disc brakes all the way around the strongest 5 speed I could find 3:73 rear end bigger wheels...kind of like the set up the guy from Inlinetubing.com has on his 442 (see the article in Hemmings Muscle Machines) A very nice stereo (cd, mp3 player and expensive speakers)
