End of an era for me :(
well I am selling my 69 Chevelle.. I have had her since I was 16 sadly its in really bad shape I got disinterested in her many years ago.. I have just held on to it for this long due to sentimental reason as my love for muscle car passed years ago.. A guy who has been asking about buying her is making an offer I think is stupid to refuse. I said a price I never thought he would pay for it in the condition its in and he's is suppose to let me know in a few hours but he seems like he's willing to pay it. To get it back to decent shape would be 20k at least and I just dont care to drop that kind of money into it..
I have always said I would just let her rot to the ground before I sold her. But I think that's selfish of me I think its only fair to her to let someone else love her like I once did
Purple Haze we had some good times ....

Beautiful cars! A buddy's dad had a pair of these when I was growing up. They had sequential serial numbers one right after the other off the assembly line. These cars were pure power.
I hope the deal works out for you. I bet in the long run you'll find this to be a good decision, knowing the car will have a second life and someone else can make some awesome memories with it as well.

It's good that you're selling it. I held onto my 69 Mustang for years, I should have sold it but instead I let it rot in my driveway with hopes that one day I'd get it going again. Eventually the gas tank ruptured so I ended up calling a junkyard to haul it away.

Good stuff.
Let someone else enjoy it.
I got nostalgic the other day for some cars I had as a kid and checked some classic car dealerships to pick one up. I crapped myself to see what they are selling for preserved or reconditioned.
Still may get one but the 15-25K pricetags are crazy!

It is a good decision especially if you are getting a good deal for it and you have lost interest in it. It is a sweet car though.

 this is from about 93 or so lol I have very few pics of the car from 1986-1992 it had 3 diff paint jobs lol all due to wrecks lol of which only 1 was my fault and that was in 86 I wrecked it right after I had gotten it restored the paint job on it was only 1 month old. But all 3 paint jobs have been som kind of Purple first 2 were metallic purples then I went with the one thats in this pic.. really wish I had pics of it when it was in its prime and all cleaned up for show.. here it has mud all over the back quarters lol
