The body is solid (front passanger door glass needs to be replaced and it runs ok mechanicaly so were looking at a repaint and some tune up work along with a new interior job. Does any one know of any pitfalls we should be aware of? Driveing the car realy takes you back in time, only thing missing is a civil defense helmet.

Looks like you have a real solid piece. Mechanical parts are generally available. Kanter in Boonton,NJ should be able to help. If not try Bernbaum and Roberts. You may be on your own for the interior. I'm not aware of any repo kits.
