The first vehicle that I would restore would be A 1969 plymouth valiant with A inline 6 cylinder
"slant 6". The first thing I would do is make the car faster by building the engine to have about 300hp,
Then i would work on the handling of the car by adding tubular control arms and k-member to remove some weight and be able to add rack and pinion steering instead of having a steering gear, I would also have the transmission rebuilt to handle the extra power. Then the final thing I would address the rear suspension by converting the rear end from leaf springs to A four link with some sort of coil over shocks. Now to address stopping the car i would also add four wheel disc breaks to it so I can stop it without having to worry about it. I don't think I would do much to change the look of the car other than either finding a gold car or having it painted gold, and buy either rally wheels for it or new reproduction police wheels with dog dish hub caps.
