think i might have to sell the 61 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rain_man · 06-29-2010, 06:28 PM

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 · 06-29-2010, 06:34 PM

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 · 06-29-2010, 06:37 PM

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 · 06-29-2010, 07:09 PM

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?

powerdriver 1958 · 06-29-2010, 07:37 PM

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.

bird7263 · 06-29-2010, 07:48 PM

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.

rain_man · 06-29-2010, 09:29 PM

na it need some rust repair but the few things keepsing me from driving it are the brakes and i need a new carb. i have to have insurance and tags to have it parked where i live so that is why i cant just let it sit i cant afford to keep the insurance. i have had a few nice trade offers but i relly need the cash. i have a job interview this week on thursday so we will see

jonzcustomshop · 06-29-2010, 10:40 PM

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 · 06-29-2010, 11:25 PM

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

rain_man · 07-01-2010, 05:30 PM

sold the truck today
it is a sad day but i will buy another in a few months when i get back on my feet

blackmopar · 07-01-2010, 05:42 PM

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 · 07-03-2010, 11:22 PM

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 · 07-03-2010, 11:33 PM

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

jonzcustomshop · 07-04-2010, 07:35 AM

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.

**jocko** · 07-04-2010, 11:20 AM

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.
