Oh and to add to mike P's comment. Your car would have a higher value as a hot rod than a restore because of it being a 4dr and if it's a real hardtop, then even more so to rodders, and your car dosen't have a posi so, you would wear out your rear tires unevenly and if your getting vintage New original ( like what Coker sells ), there around 100$ a tire and if you wear out 1 rear tire, ya gotta replace both rear tires if not all tires. What you should do in my oppinion cause you like original look and feel and want a car that could preform is make a restomod, newer more reliable drivetrain and suspension but the same look and feel it had when it left the factory and, if reselling at any time, these tend to bring in more $$$ than true resto's or rods for that fact, really your only options are restomod, Rod/custom, or original and if you want 100% original, your gonnahave to give up wanting to burn the rubber cause the drivetrain woulden't take it. Your car would have to # match to be worth alot as an original.
