Re: Sad where the hobby is headed

I gave my 65 GTO to my son and my 70 GTO convertible to my daughter, both are show quality cars. I hope that they will enjoy them for many years, but I told them when/if they are no longer interested in the cars they can sell them -they are theirs now. Both are taking great care of them and are cognizant of the value and the importance of protecting them. They know that the cars were important to me as I put a lot of sweat and dollars in restoring them. That makes them important to them. Maybe after I am dead they will sell them. I won't care. In the meantime, I get to see them enjoying them. I'm glad that the owners of the truck hope to sell it to someone who has a passion for it so that it lives on being maintained and restored when needed. I know that made a million of these trucks, but I like to see the good ones kept good.
