Now I sit at my desk with a check in hand and my car is sold. The buyer will be here to pick it up next weekend. The chances I will own another are somewhat slim as the economic circumstances that led me to sell the car are not likely to turn around anytime soon. I never even got to add one performance mod to it.
I just wanted to say thanks to those on these boards that made the car and and that dream so enjoyable. Now I will fade into the background again and wish I never had to sell my car. I may be around again one day.
Get every moment of enjoyment out of those cars guys. Drive it like you stole it.

Russ,
I am in the same boat. I sold my 67 chevelle to of forum member on new years day. I had the car just shy of 24 years. I am getting a divorce, filed Bankruptcy, lost job and I had to move in with my parents with my 2 kids. I cried the day David picked it up. I was glad to see that david who bought it was going to do some thing with it.
it can always be worse and I know about your broken heart and the dream that seems to have died. My chevelle out lasted my marriage and never treated me like crap.
I am not trying to make this about me, but don't be ashamed to shed a few tears and know that God has a interesting way of taking broken dreams and making things new again. I know one day that guys like us will have a hot rod again. I'm there with ya. I actually have a dream of one day maybe if the buyer of my chevelle decides to sell it, that I will buy it back....
Sorry to hear about the broken dream, but be thankful, things could be worse, even thought thats not what you want to hear right now....
Blessings,
Alan
