Camaro/Firebird Rescue Ranch

OK, does anyone want to bankroll or sponsor my latest idea?

I'll start a Camaro/Firebird rescue place. We go find abused and neglected third gens and restore them to good health and their former glory. Hire some staff members and we could spend every day working on/playing with Camaros (and Firebirds).

Who's in?

Re: Camaro/Firebird Rescue Ranch

I (speaking emotionally) love the idea. The only problem (speaking pragmatically), is that given the current amount to have to put into these cars versus their resale value....

Reminds me of the farmer (logger, fisher, etc.) who wins the lottery. When asked what he'll do with his new wealth, he answers: "keep on farming until the money runs out".

So, while I would personally love to restore every thirdgen I see, the economics don't work at present.
