Besides give it to someone!!! 
Can't decide what to do with my 68 Road Runner that is a strip/street car with 8 point roll bar,race seats,no back seat and mild drivetrain that pushes it to 10.90'S in the 1/4...
It's a 383 4-spd post car that's not been cut up and i have all the stock/factory parts with the exception of seats to put it back stock.
Engine is not #'s matching tho...
OR..
Do i cage it,cal track it,dana 60 it and install a fresh 493" lowdeck stroker with indy sr heads that made 780hp on the pump set up for spray just hanging out on the engine stand...
OR..
Just leave as is to rot away under the car cover over in the corner of the garage...I think i'm ready for a change as i've owned it since 96 and basically like it sets..
What say you !!!!
Looks to be a good 2013 Drag Week Candidate

Set it up to be a comfortable open road car with A/C, an overdrive, extensive sound deading treatments and some suspension and braking upgrades. Then drive it on road trips to some cool Mopar car shows around the country.
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's
1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I would keep it as a street strip car, but definitely put the big motor in it and perhaps just a 6 point cage and make a drag week car out of it.
You could always cut the cage out later and restore it.
