Most garages have an 8-foot ceiling which really isn't enough.   If you have 
a 9-foot ceiling you can get a Pantera on top of a late-model Corvette.   
Don't know about a Boss 302 though.

10-foot ceiling would be better still....

BTW Julian Kift and Larry Stock are cooking up a group buy on 4-post lifts 
right now for the Reno-Tahoe Pantera club, getting a discount off the 
manufacturer's best price.   As they are coming from LA, perhaps you could roll in on 
that and have them drop one on the way up the hill?

 RTP Friends,
 
Larry Stock and I have been working on a group buy discount for four poster 
lifts, so if you have been contemplating purchasing a lift read on...
 
The best deal we have been given is a price of $1,600 on Direct Lifts 
Pro-Park 7LL model FOB from Quality Tool & Eqpt in Temecula, CA, that is $100 off 
their regular web price. 
 
You can view the lift (and any accessories) at

Mike  and follow the side menu to 4 post lifts, Pro-Park 7LL
 
Larry is working on freight up to Reno and this is where we can probably make 
further savings as a group. Punching in a single lift to the freight 
estimator it gives ~$300 to Reno,
so we should be able to cut down on that somewhat. The exact amount I cannot 
say at present until we know exactly how many lifts we need to freight and 
freight method (i.e. whether it is a truckload or partial load)
 
As far as I'm aware we have 4 people committed already, so I thought I'd 
throw it out there to the group for anyone else that might have been thinking 
about a lift in the near future.
Depending on the freight situation, this will likely happen in the very near 
future and could be as early as next week, so please if you have any interest 
get back to me ASAP.
 
Cheers,
Julian
