I agree. Make it into a nice cruiser. You definitley don't want to race it. If you break something racing, it's not very cheap to fix. At your age right now, having more power on tap will be more of a curse than a blessing. Believe me, you'll want to gun it all the time and end up with speeding tickets.
IMO, I would make it look good. Don't rice it out or anything, but get yourself some OEM style 17" rims, (bullits, cobras, GT 17s) and lower it about an inch and a half. If you get larger rims, you can put some bullit or cobra brakes on it that not only stop better, but look better too. As far as engine performance...my first step with a V6 would be get a chip. It'll net you a little more power and give you even better gas mileage. When you get a little older, get a GT or Cobra, and keep the V6 as a nice cruiser.
My first car was a 1979 Chrysler LeBaron....not exactly a sporty car, lol. Just take care of it, keep it clean, make it look good, and make it comfortable. Later down the road you can worry about power.
Got any pics of it? What color is it?
