The "S71" 1971 Olds Cutlass S project is seeking a new owner.
We at V8TV began this project about 6 months ago, but the owner of the car had a change in his personal situation, so we are seeking a new owner to finish this car for.
The new owner will end up with ownership of the completed car after we complete all aspects of the full frame-off restoration and pro-touring upgrades.
As you can imagine, this is a special circumstance, as we are a TV/ media company, so many of the parts were provided by sponsor donation, so we cannot charge for those items. Essentially, the owner will be buying the car for the cost of the vehicle in it's current state plus the related labor / service / material costs associated with the restoration, engine build, interior, etc.
Here's the first video featuring the car:
http://v8tvshow.com/content/view/28/79/The asking price will be revealed via email, but it will be in the $45k range. Interested parties are encouraged to call any restoration shop and request a comparison quote on a full rotisserie restoration complete with bodywork, paint, interior, chassis restoration and modification, engine build, turbo system, wheels, tires, and electrical restoration. Add to that the opportuinity to watch the project come to life with daily online video updates, and you'll soon see that this is an extremely competitive offer.

This is just a basic overview of the plans for the car, complete details will be provided upon request.
Target completion date is May 16, 2008, for the YearOne Experience, but no guaranteed date of completion is expressed or implied. There may be several other required event appearances for the car in 2008 as well, possibly SEMA.
We already have most of the parts in-house, and we need a new owner to keep this project moving. The owner will be able to watch the project come to life via our daily weekday video updates covering the build on
