Keep that motor and if the rest of the driveline is good, you may want to keep that as well. A TH350 or 400 would work wonderfully in that car btw.
Add disk brakes and suspension upgrades.
The interior is shot so I would have the seats done, get a carpet kit, so on. Clean it up as close to stock as you can get. I would also add the hood with dual inlets and the hood tach. That would be a nice upgrade and will have a factory appearance as well.
Red is a nice color but given that you can do anything you want to this car, I would change it over to blue, black or something a little more aggressive.
No stripes needed on this car. It looks beautiful as it sits.
Get a nice set of stock looking wheels like others have mentioned.
This is a great car for a project though. Do you mind telling me about how much you grabbed it for?

Grabbed the car for $1000 off of my dad. He bought it in the late 80s for $1000 I think. He said he bought the car in Florida where he used to live and drove it all the way to PA. After he cut some of the engine bay to make a big block 455 buick fit inside it, after awhile driving the car he spun the rear axle doing a burnout or something. The car sat in one of his mechanic friends lots rotting outside until one day I he decided to pick the car up and I instantly fell in love with it! One of the best looking muscle cars ever made imo.
