Factory restored......There's an Idea GM, Ford and Chrysler ought to latch onto.....

I was reading in Autoweek where Porsche-Audi has a program-if you ship your Porsche 356, 912, 911 or 914 to Stuttgart-and can pay the bill of course-factory trained technichians will restore the car for you and certify the restoration as factory correct. You know it will be done right!!  Nissan is offereing the same deal to 240 / 260 / 280Z owners. Nissan is taking a step further-you can add performance enhancements-for example electronic ignition instead of a point-type distributor, Weber carbs instead of SUs or a five-speed trans instead of a 4-speed. Pretty cool. I think GM, Ford and Chrysler should do something similar. How cool would a '66 GTO with Edelbrock heads and Tri-Power on a 467 inch Pontiac V8 backed by a Tremec 5-speed, and Trans-Am front and rear sway bars and 4-wheel disc brakes be? Maybe if enough people express interest they'll start a program. Kudos to Porsche and Nissan for having the guts to do it. Mastermind
