One man was going to donate a GTO to us a few weeks back, but someone bought all four of his cars at once, leaving nothing to donate. I would certainly welcome any thing that would help our cause.I just hope it can come before we get too far into this car financially. (See "student rest project" thread in Body Shop)
But I think you hit on a good point. Where does one draw the line? Would it be "wrong" to put ram air, including decals, on a regular 400 2bbl GTO? What if it came verdoro green and someone made it purple with stripes? One thing I do not want is to build a race car. Two years ago I built a 400 hp Hornet,that got squirrely if you floored it on the highway at 60 MPH, and it ended up in the hands of a 16 year old girl.Never again.
Howver, we do wish to raise funds from this project, and unless it is an easy restoration, I don't know if even a GTO would make it if we had to put 12K into it. We are hoping to limit our investment to 8K (parts and materials) over two years.
