a 1951 Studebaker Commander used in filming The Muppet Movie in 1979, is in the Studebaker National Museum, and they'd like to raise $175,000 to restore it.

I have no idea why they think it will require so much money, I'm pretty sure for 1/2 that amount they can buy a restored one from a museum or private collector, and switch the parts needed to the movie car
