About my Thunderbird

i bought this car over the winter and it is not mobile at the moment. i bought it for $100 from the orignal owner, my great aunt. it has the 351 V8 and a 9-inch, the transmission i have no idea wat it is but does not matter for it will be replaced soon with a 83 t-bird's C4. my plans include a high geared rearend, and about 400 hp. i want to keep the original white paint until it starts flaking, then it will be repainted flat black. meanwhile ill be concentrating on the drive train, suspension, and i havent really planned what to do to the motor, but all the usual refinements will be added. mainly it will be used just for the pure pleasure of driving. ive found a set of ford-bolt rally style wheels to add, but itll keep the 3 hubcaps for now. the odimiter reads 69836, low because it was unreliable. the current tranny slips terribly so its not on the road as i mentioned. RAM air with a funtional hoop scoop might be in the future. the hp figure is unknown so i put the stock amount. the cars single pipe exuast has 1 cherry bomb, no idea how that got under there. im open to any suggestions right now, with PHR's laguna project car, i thought people might realize 70s cars potentional
