Oh Yeah, drive it before you start working on it. Get a feeling for it and the fun and joy it is, and when you pull it apart the memories will give yo incentive to finish the project and get it back on the road

Thanks for the welcome!

The car is an AT, which I did not want, but I could not find a nice 4 speed at the right price.

You can always convert it to a 4 speed in the future. Having such a beautiful car to start with makes it all that much easier

5k more and it is a 5 or 6 speed. Leave it be for now though.

Plan is to keep it original, as it is off to a great start. Have documents showing the mileage is only 50K, but always hard to tell. Last registered in 1993 with 43K miles so it could be correct.

I hope to get some work done this winter (Chicago) and then enjoy the heck out of it this summer.
