Wow, a great find!!!
Congrats!!!
Finding a 71 or 72 is such a good thing. It already has disc brakes. Sometimes all it takes is machining rotors, pads, and master cylinder and of course working of the rear drums, and its all done!!!
You've got disc brakes and the auto trans, two things' I'd desire...

It looks like your front seat may be save-able. THe cushion foam/cover isn't completely destroyed. You might get by with a new cover set. LMC has a black cover set (or did) for $149.00. That would get you by, at least...

I'm betting the 307 could be saved. Of course it would have to be bored....

Carry On!!!
