Thanks! It is. It was my dad's and he loved it. He passed away last month and I wanted to start fixing it up before it get's too far into disrepair. He had saved up some money for it but didn't get a chance to spend it. :(

So what are the plans for it? Restore it back to original condition or modify it.
I think everyone knows what my response would be to this question.

I thought about a LS swap or a crate motor at first. But then I thought about doing the basics to start.

1. Windows and AC.....Done
2. Exhaust.....Hopefully next week.
3. Stereo and speakers.....Next week.
4. Suspension, Bushings, Brakes
5. Paint

Nice ride.
My question is "What did your Dad want to do?"
He saved money for the ride.
My El C is all about me.
My son wants it as I have built and has made his wishes clear to my wife.
