I don't know much about my Plymouth, and i'm still in high school, but over the next 15 to 20 years i plan to restore it to its original beauty. My mother, a muscle car enthusiast (much like i hope to be, as i have a 69 Monte Carlo and a 70's GMC to also restore within my lifetime) bought the car for around 4000 dollars about a year before she passed away, so obviously the car has an immense amount of sentimental value and i don't plan to let it rot in a garage until i'm retired. it has a brand new 383 with less than 3500 miles on it. (one of my mom's beginning restorations) but most of the electrical work needs replaced. it has a drag racing oil pan that sits about 4 inches from the ground and the suspension is shot. Its body is a faded brown with an even more faded black roof (the picture uploaded is just a Google

image search. its the same color but the roof isn't the same), and a small rust problem behind the right rear wheel. As of now it is an automatic, but my most drastic upgrade i would like to give it would be to put a manual transmission in it. I understand that this is quite the task, but my grandfather, who is restoring an old 70's Chevrolet pickup, thinks that it is possible. I'm not looking for a drag racer, but i would like to invest however much it takes into the car, so when it comes to the parts, I'm not looking for something cheap, and i would like to push the car's level of performance as far as it can handle. Some day i would like to see a 440 big block under the hood. I am very lenient with advice and I will take any help i can get. I appreciate anyone willing to help and I am glad to be in a community with people that know what they're doing, unlike me.
Thanks!
