One last item. I am not sure when GM changed from a shaft operated gas pedal to a cable operated one, i think it was between 67 and 70.

Anyway, if you driver's side motor mount fails, it can actually pin the throttle wide open (if you have the old style shaft operated gas pedal) . Not a huge deal if your daughter has her stuff together, but I have witness it happening. Also, based on the amount of maintenance you are planning to do, i doubt it is an issue.
