Make sure that if the underside, and ESPECIALLY the front control arm mount areas are miraculously rust free or at least in reasonably solid condition, be sure to get a rust barrier coating, or take extra care in keeping that area rust free. These cars are extremely susceptible to rust damage that could put you up the creek some fateful day.
Like Bicycle Bob said, aerodynamics are your best friend here. Try to get it so that when you get a little above the speed you want to go, then put it in neutral, it will coast at a reasonable speed for that road for as long as possible. Most cars without modifications of this nature have very poor coastdown distance.
