It will become my street track toy ,at first i will check out the condition of the suspension and roll cage specs to see where am at ..the 6 will be going and a late model 302 roller motor with carb and T5 behind it, big road race rubber and wheels so i can tear up the local HPDE courses..Pics will follow ...cant wait

That is an awesome car! If it were me, I would leave it exactly that way and just get it ready to race then clean up the appearance later. I like its just out of the barn look

Great start! I was driving behind a 1st gen Maverick the other day, first one I've seen in a very long time. Had the rear panel painted black, 5 spoke factory sport wheels, but no grabber hood and smoke coming from the single exhaust. I followed it for a while before having to turn and thought it would make a killer pro-tour ride.
If you plan on racing it a lot painting it green again and doing a modern "47" look would be fun. That way you'd be maintaining it's history and continuing with the legend, just an idea...
