think i might have to sell the 61

[rain_man]

i relly do not want to sell but the wife says sell it. im out of work and have zero cash to finish so i cant drive it and it just is sitting there. a guy made a dumb offer that i wondent consider any other time with the amount of money i have in it but i relly need the money. just ranting thanks for listening

[jonzcustomshop]

heres the deal, some one makes you a dumb and high offer, probably take it, you can always find another...
if you are trying to sell because you think you can get some money to help your situation...don't it won't sell for what you want, or have in it and you will always regret it.
at this stage these trucks are rarely worth what we have invested in them....
it would be like hawking your $900 guitar for a quick $150, and forgetting to buy it back...

[rain_man]

dumb as in way low if it was a good offer i probley would not feal so bad but i need money so might have to. i have till this weekend to make up my mind.

[jonzcustomshop]

well then it can't need much to finish, do you just have to keep it liscensed to keep it parked there?
you would probably feel horrible if you got a job next week and had let it go for nothing...
what does it need?

Please don't turn this into a non subscriber for sale post....That being said if it sets it don't eat much.....Hate to see anyone sell their hard work and sweat.

Dude.. I just sold my 66 short step a few weeks ago.. I am in tears about it.. I needed the money too.. But damn I am sick about it.

I was just wondering how your interview went? I hope you still have the truck hang on to it.

I had a few apartments like that , it sucked, one I didn't even drive, because I walked to work, and they would not give at all, told me if I didn't need to use the vehicles, to get rid of them... I moved

[rain_man]

ya i have been looking for a new place but it is a little tuff with no money

dont beat yourself up - its a passion, I know, but in the end, your family is far more important - Im nearing having to do something like this too - good thing on my side is they are all paid for and they can just sit on my property but times are tough and probably getting tougher - hopefully it went to a good home where the guy is in postiion to do something with it - afterall, these are supposed to get driven, not be lawn ornaments, right?

Hang in there - you sound like you have your priorities right - certainly do sympathize though amigo!

[rain_man]

ya im gona have to get every thing else in my life together and then i want to try and pick up a 456

[markeb01]

Everyone I know has had to sacrifice something pretty important in the last couple of years. Good luck getting through the tough times.

[jonzcustomshop]

I think the 456 is a good idea, there is alot more available for them, and I think they would be a little cheaper/easier to build.
hope to see you back sometime.

Sold a 57 bel air that I ALWAYS felt that same way about - and still do. But the fact is - there will be another one someday, and it'll be even sweeter when you get it.

[rain_man]

yes i sold the truck and also did not get the job.
so the hunt is on i need a new job and then another truck maybe a burb(love the way they look real low)

[dj-66]

what did you sell it for? What budget you at for a burb?

[rain_man]

sold the truck for $2000
will burb or anything else will have to wait till later i need a new job and to get on feet before i buy anything else.


p.s. unless u have one that u want to give me for "free" LOL
