Get him to install an old PC into that muscle car to take data from
ignition system and speedometer. Then add some vacuum guages and collect
that data. Now plot correlations between fuel consumption and engine
speed and vacuum and equate it to cost per mile of fuel at various
speeds.

That would combine EVERYTHING into one big project.
