    For sure! (y)

    The plans right now for it:
    • 5.0 EFI/4R70 from a '98 explorer donor (on hand)
    • Cruise control from the explorer (Not sure how I'll do the control switches yet, maybe a custom dash mount)
    • 5 lug rear conversion (Not sure route yet, have a 65 falcon rear and the exploder rear)
    • 15" tires/wheels
    • Up front: either an MII kit or a Unisteer power rack (with 5 lug/disc brake update)
    • Full strip and paint (this was painted sometime in its past and the clear coat is peeling off) it looks better in the pic than it does in person!
    • Full interior restoration, with bucket seats and center console. Likely go to floor shift as well.
    • Update the A/C to R134a to utilize the 5.0's compressor
    Being an Arizona car, the body is in great shape, probably has never seen a single mile of road salt. But the interior is pretty well gone. Plastic doesn't survive desert temps for 46 years too well.

    That is quite a list! Should be very nice and keep you very busy for awhile. Plastic parts fair much better in the northern states for sure. Great car to start with!
