    Mustang II would be my choice, but that's me. As for a best brand, lots of good ones out there. Beautiful car by the way !

    working on the original frame is your best bet. it was designed to support the convertible . c4 is easy to find now days. crown vic is another good choice. the crown vic is likely to ride much better because of weight. stay away from mll on a car this heavy .
