I like your line of thinking, largely where I am, if it is numbers matching, vert, 400 4 spd, good colors imo, I can't go too wrong. It is not completely un molested but is very good. I had also thought of putting it back on the road with minimal work. I have very nicely restored cars, but find I in some ways I enjoy the ones which are survivors more. Not as worried about wher I park them, leaning on them, drive it to work, etc. not sure how I would deal with the cow side, bang it out, white primer?😊. At cruise ins and car shows I love looking at survivors!
