Like you said "We've all been there". I get offers from many people and have taken them up on a few. I sold my 68 Firebird to a guy who really wanted it. I also sold my 64 GTO to a guy who really wanted it. The guy turned the 68 Bird slowly into junk as I watched over a period of about 2 years. It made me sick to watch my 2 year resto and knuckle busting love end up totaly ruined. The guy I sold the 64 to pulled the engine out with only about 3000 miles on a fresh engine. I guess he had some ideas or what ever. The engine disappeared, and the car sat in his garage for 5 years. When his garage door was open, I could see that the car was being used as a shelf for garage junk
lawn chairs, boxes, etc. Both were show quailty autos, that were put together by me with perserverence, and love. A couple weeks ago I noticed the 64 was gone, to where I dont know,but it was equaly as sickening. Yea, I got good money for them, but if I had known the outcome neither would have been sold. Too bad you can't check "idiot references" on buyers of nice old cars. Maybe the guy who wants it has big honest plans, only he knows. Maybe he's just gonna beat it and trash it into a parts car over time. The decision is totaly up to you to sell something that you say you love. Just don't kick yourself in the rear if your "love" is turned into a piece of sh*t, it made my leg and butt awful sore.
