I hadn't yet weighed in on the prior messages, but yes, for a raffle 
car, starting with the best car is a better plan.  There is no way that 
in the next 18 months we as a group are going to be able to purchase and 
restore a car, even a decent car.

Also, Sarah's message, in which she says that the car cost $10,000 to 
acquire and that the raffle netted $20,000 means that, at $5 per ticket, 
they sold 6000 tickets.  Nice work, and clearly the result of some 
butt-busting volunteers.

And, in keeping with Brian's oft-repeated mantra of "whose lips move" 
(meaning, who is actually going to DO what needs to be done, if we as a 
group acquire a car, be it a perfect car or a restoration project), 
where is this 110-sq ft object going to reside until convention time?
