My Christmas Present: 71 Swinger w/26K Miles

Yes cream puff. Great find. Survivors are few and far between. Pretty much only one to be found are slant cars. The hp cars were abused and destroyed decades ago except for a rare handful.
I would give the slant a chance. It could grow on you, then if not put in the hopped up SB if that will give you the fun factor needed.
At any rate, I would keep it looking stock but that is just me. Or a "day 2" treatment is me too.

At any rate, great find!!! Enjoy.
