Just my opinion ….. leave it as built.
It’s almost 60 years old and still retains its factory powertrain.
It’s a relaxing vintage cruiser for fun on nice days, not to mention first era of the Muscle Car.

Thanks for sharing.
I agree with your points and part of me says leave it alone as it's a pure, undisturbed car. Plus running a car at the the Pure Stock Drags in Stanton is a bucket list thing for me (maybe run it there?) The appeal of an overdrive with nothing more that redrilling a few holes makes the option appealing. Heck, I was talking to Jim Mattison about the car and he said put a 4 speed in it! No way I'm cutting the floor in it!
