Keith, youre killing us! Mads, dont listen to him, he's trying to use logic. Fills me with self doubt til I take a ride to get a 12 pack, hear the horns beep and see the people cluster around it when I come walking out of the liquor store.

Still I ask what kind of moron would restore a T37 or a lemans if you could get a real A body? Let alone in a rust prone climate in a rust prone exterior design...A labor of love I guess... plus there arent many morons like me left since for the longest time all the non GTO's were cut up for parts. In the mid 80's I had a 72 lemans driver (for 130K miles on the horror show highways of NJ)..car didnt owe me a dime, bench seat 350 2 bbl with air, and I was hooked. Same car same drive train same black interior T37 came my way for 350 bucks in 91. Dragged that car from place to place as I moved, slowly accumulated parts I needed that I couldnt already peel off the 72. I guess if you can do it as an in between hobby instead of an all or nothing gig it doesnt hurt as much. Even with only the 350, there's something about that ride. Even with the high perf & handling of the new cars, there's something about that ride. Obviously did it for myself to enjoy. I have to assume that noone in their right mind would do a T37 trailer queen - not when the GTO endura nose is so awesome. So thats a big question - you doing it for you to enjoy or for the clipboard points... Just keep in mind that the tempest, lemans and T37's might be the least desireable right now, but how many will still be around in the future if everyone chops them for goats?
