Nice!

Have you run sea-foam through some of the vacuum lines to clean out the intake valves/system?

Be aware, though, that any old cracked vac hoses might not like the seafoam.

Also, fuel filter change might be good. If you have AAA, you could drop an easy 50 or so with the spare tire and jack. Or pick up some fix-a-flat. If you don't chauffer people around, you could pull the back seats out, for a few pounds. I've heard replacing the glass with poly could reduce weight, but if money savings is what you want, it might not be as cost effective as you think - apparently it scratches and clouds pretty easily, so you either have to replace it often, or get some kind of clear plastic sheets to put over it to protect it. That's just "stuff i've heard", so I can't really verify it, but it sounds legit.

Nice find on the car!
