I know what you're saying. It took 40 years in the pacific northwest for the paint to look the way it does. Sadly, I do think I'm going to get it painted. The road salt and whatnot here in Indiana in winter will eat a car that's not properly sealed. I was thinking of going with a semigloss paint job, though, keeping the interior about how it is now(leopard seats...don't laugh, I killed/skinned that fake leopard myself), but I've found a very unusual wood-rim steering wheel, grant anti-theft kit(from a previous car I owned), and maybe a new set of gauges that I can trust(the Autometer 4 in 1 looks pretty sweet for the money). I've already upgraded the safety belts to 3-point ones. It's getting disc brakes, a full polygraphite front end rebuild, and a set of aluminum slot wheels courtesy of VDART. A few other planned upgrades would be halogen headlamps, LED lighting all around, and flogging that 170 until it's performing like a mild small block. Should be an exciting trip.
