I can build an extension... or put it on the roof.
Might trick it out with a high performance engine and some mag wheels and drive it around the neighbourhood...a couple of donuts in someone's back yard.. Already picked out a disco ball and black fuzzy dice. It will be great for grocery shopping and getting my gear to gigs.

Thanks for the update CRA 
Great news. Keep us informed about your efforts Loken, I'll be happy to make a donation for the restoration, particularly if the final destination is a museum somewhere - that's where she belongs.

Not one for restoring artifacts, are you?
Lynne, thanks for taking the time to step in and clear up the matter. Yes, when people make certain claims and back them up with very dated materials, it doesn't hold much clout. From your cellphone photos I can see you have the real deal. Sorry to hear that ownership has been such a nightmare for so long... and financial drain! But... given how important original TOS props are, it would be so terrific to have this wonderful piece of Star Trek ephemera restored. Hopefully Drexler, Peters, and others can help make this happen. Please keep us posted! 
Functional? As in replace the marine plywood hull with tritanium and duranium? Put warp coils in those nacelles? A phaser locker in the inner hull?

I'm guessing that they meant to make the inside look as close as possible to the on screen version. Sure it will be smaller but I think it would be better than an empty shell.
It's only a model.
If you're driving down the freeway in the Galileo, it's like a Hummer. You don't need to see where you're going - everyone else will get out of your way!

You bet...but what great models! I know the guy (Bill George) who does that site, and I've seen those models in person. The 2001 spaceplane model's three feet long, and the Eagle is SIX!

C'mon.. How hard could it be??
Someone have a market quote on today's price per pound for tritanium/duranium alloy?
1/2 slip of latinum per square yard at average shuttle hull thickness.
C'mon CRA, you've been around the internet long enough. Don't you recognize sarcasm when you read it?
