Power brakes is literally bolt on ( maybe two holes to drill in firewall depending on booster )

I've never added air but I'm sure you could scrounge the correct parts easily enough.

I hope it has a nice personality.

Chrome bumper corvettes are worth more with numbers matching. The extra options tilt towards the basket case but so many pieces to put together.

a numbers matching motor enhances value

Your money, the final decision is yours.

Rephrased
One does not purchase a vehicle in a million parts to make money on. The idea is to put it together as you ( the owner ) wants it to be.

Do the car as you like since it's your money you're spending.

Boxes of parts (and the stock flat hood) arrive tomorrow morning, which I will have to find disposition for in my already crowded world...

I own a C3! The car I've wanted since I was 7 years old, and first saw show car pictures of the Mako Shark.

Now my garage smells "right". Old Chevys all smell the same...

Congrats
