    4 doors from that period aren't notably different in appearance from most 2 doors, so there's nothing wrong with getting the Bonus Door option. Some of them I have to glance at twice to even tell, as they hide the door handles so creatively.

    Seems to me that one could be made to handle like a Crown Vic, or similar late model body-on-frame. Just as a track-only car is a reach, a cruise-only is as well. You're never going to make an old 4000 lb. car handle like a sports car, but a few twisties should be enjoyed, not avoided.

    After I read your first post, I used my google powers to look up what moonshine runners did to their cars.

    Or, you could just see what kind of air-ride system + goodies would do for you.I'd definitely check and strengthen/box the frame.

    I pretty much clicked to open this thread thinking, "Oh...this is going to have some awesome in it."

    I knew I'd be right. Clicking the little heart button now to add to my favorites.
