I agree, stripping this car in my opinion would be a bad decision. Only 6,360 of these were built no numbers available on manual or auto was ever recorded. Out of tht number no one knows how many were crashed, rusted and crushed but numbers would be even less now. At any given time you can get a 350 engine for less than 400 bucks. The pacw car is gonna be more desirable in the future.

 

How about this?
Im sure I speak for the entire Forum when I say you really should keep the car whole. But, if you really want, go ahead and do whatever with the driveline, just keep the body, b/c it's without a doubt more valuble.
