Keep it stock, or make it your own?

My 75 started as a slant six auto as well what my goal is and what im trying to do is build it the way I would have ordered it if I could have bought it new. (If they had a performance option for the swinger which i know they didnt) so basically my car is gonna be my rendition of what a 1975 swinger would have been if they offered a performance package. So instead of a swinger 340(1970) mine is a swinger 360! I really want to find a four speed or even a late model 5speed for it eventually. I love manual transmissions even my everyday driver 2001 ram has a 5speed lol

Sounds like a lot of fun.
I know i sure did building mine.
Truth be known, i do have a '74 Dart Sport 360 4 speed body that i could have done instead, but i chose not to do that one and did the green car instead.
The reasoning behind that was I really like the looks of the car and the color is my favorite, i had a lot of the hard parts to put the car together, and with my line of thinking, I wanted the freedom to do what i wanted in the future to the car hoping to big block it etc. and wouldn't have any hesitation because it was only a slant 6 car to begin with.
Yes, i do love the ''beaker'' cars!
And i really enjoy driving it now, it's dead nuts reliable and it brings a smile to my face every time that i do.
I even have a build thread on here if you or anyone else is interested.............
