Thats a pretty common conversion. a buddy used to have one of those Chevy/Jags
A few years ago I had a 52 Ford Short box. With Polished sloted wheels, a 350 Chevy under the hood linked to Chevy drive train. Painted a light shade of Maroon with black vinyl buckets out of a Pontiac.
To light in the back, it would smoke the tires up for eternity if you stepped into it.
To many toys and to little storage, I had to sell it.
I use to have the coolest job....right of high school I got the job of track announcer at our local drag strip, Cordova,Il Home of the world series of drag racing.
Always liked hot cars....still do ;-)

Re: How many folks here own classic Hot Rods?
My first car was a 1962 VW Bug. Guess that doesn't count as a hot rod, huh? 
My dad is restoring a 1960 Hawk, and has two 1979 Dodge Magnums, one in show condition, the other is being restored. My sister has a 1970 Road Runner (383) in immaculate condition, and her husband has a 1969 Road Runner (440) that's neon green and black. It's seen many 1/4 mile races, but is in mint condition as well.

I bet it skips when you go over a bump!
That is really cool. I hope your dad doesn't sell the car because it sounds like it is an integral part of a lot of family memories.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I don't remember it skipping much, but it took a large bump to bounce that car. It was a tank.
Your family will always regret it if your dad sells that car.
