Man - that's a tough call. The money doesn't sound too bad though?????? I really like that car. I'd say if the money isn't an issue, I'd keep it. Let us know what you decide.

I think you have to much money... and to many nice cars. Only you can make that call.

1. You don't need the money

2. You would just have to build something else

So, unless the offer is for way more than it's worth then I would keep it.

By the way, what is your flooring material? I'm getting ready to redo my garage.

My car misses your garage.. lol

Oh it's real money, I know the guy..

Steve, it's scored & stained concrete. I have the same in both garages but I'm having the other "everyday" garage redone with more of a textured finish. I can't tell you how many times I have hit the abs brakes when I pull in with wet tires!

Thanks for the input guys, I think if he REALLY wants it, he will come back with another offer then we will see..for now I told him no.

That is my favorite Mustang, but a six-figure offer is also very tempting. I guess I'm not very sentimental about cars, I'm always looking to move them and start the next project up. But, I'm sure we can both agree that the price is always higher when we don't "need" to sell a car. In fact, all of my current cars are always for sale at any time. The prices are just absurd until I get bored of them though. haha

A six figure offer is only good if it's MORE than the cost to duplicate the car. That's assuming SW would replace it which he said he would.

I was offered "six figures" for my car, but turned it down since, if I built another one, I would have to put in hundreds and hundreds of hours. Selling a car a your "break even" point isn't a good financial plan if your just going to go build another one. lol

People ask me if my car is for sale and I always reply "Everything is always for sale"

It's a nice car. Me in your situation, I'd sell it and buy II Much!

Edit: Nice Garage x5 Is the stained concrete impervious to spills and such?

(what was I thinking... In your situation keep it and buy II Much )
