Yeah, as it stands it is a completely impossible question to answer. Even if/when you provide detailed perspective on what you want to do with the car and how you want it to make you "feel", it will still not be cut and dried.

Think about your realistic budget; how/where/how often you want to drive it; how much of it you want to build yourself (all the way up part by part; some major assemblies already done; a roller; a turn-key minus; total turn-key); how much time you want to allocate to it; your realistic mechanical capabilities as they now stand. As close to a recreation of an original car as possible, or sky's-the-limit modern hot rod in a classically styled body?

Well-thought out responses to those types of questions will go a long way toward the usefullness of the responses you'll get here.
