What do you think of my car?

Hey, I'm new here and kinda new to cars but I just wanted to share the car I'm getting.

First off I'm 15 and getting my license soon and my dad is a pro with cars and has some real nice ones. At first I was going get his 1968 Delmont Oldsmobile with a 455 Rocket engine but the car was pretty rusted. So I changed my mind and was going to get the 1967 Barracuda which was still in good shape, but my dad told me about the 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus. I fell in love with it at first sight.

This car is still in good shape and just needs an engine. We have a 440 TNT Magnum that we are going to rebuild over time but for now we are going to put a hemi in it, the older version one. I'd just like to know what you all think and if you have any advice for me ;)

BTW, my friend is rebuilding his dad's 1970 Chevell Malibou! This is going to be an awesome car if he does it right.

I'm starting a website about girls, cars, and something else (I don't know what yet hehe) Please give me suggestions or whatever. Thanks for reading this and I hope for a reply!

Well right now its an akward green color but I plan on painting it. I'll probably paint it 'metallic' black at first and then go from there. I have to put new carpet in and get a new slap stick for it and replace some other minor things. As far as the motor goes we'll be putting a 440 TNT Magnum once we rebuild it. We already have $600 in the heads and we have a dual quad intake valve going in it too. It has dual exuast and the body is still in pretty good shape.

I don't have a picture of my exact car but I do have a picture of the 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus on my site.
