I'd buy the parts car if it is reasonably priced. Then I'd restore the 57 Belv to original. Then I'd locate a 57 Fury shell that was pretty rust free ( don't laugh - I saw one last year in a junkyard in Fresno. All Fury stuff was gone.) and drop all the goodies into that. Then you'd have two correct cars, although technically the Fury wouldn't be numbers-matching.
