Re: Gone ...
Sorry she's gone, but I love that the guy had to have it.
What are your plans now? |

Re: Gone ...
Holy crap. I'm glad you got paid. It is a weird feeling to see that much cash all at once though. Hopefully you can buy another one and start over. Later, Mario

Re: Gone ...
I get that every so often. I always say its not for sale.They say everythings for sale for the right price so I say a high price and then they walk away. Except for one time four years ago at a Good Guys show in pleasanton A guy asks what would it take to buy it so I reply with what usually makes them walk away $35,000 He starts looking closer, he gets on his cell phone. Mean while I start feeling like I'm having a anxiety attack and I tell my wife I don't want to sell it. So I tell her if he is serious I will tell him I would have to think about it. When he came over to talk about it he offered $30,000 so it was easy to say no deal. I could never sell my Blazer Its like part of the family so now I tell them $60,000

Cash talks, BS walks. I've always thought of doing that to someone. Makes it interesting

Re: Gone ...
Dang, that was a cool K5 - good luck finding your next project.
Somehow, I just don't think that will ever happen to me with my K5 - it's just ratty enough that I doubt anyone will ask me what my price is.

Re: Gone ...
It may be totally legit, but a young guy walking around with that kind of cash smells like drugs. Dealers will buy higher priced used cars for cash so they can resell. Money laundering. The loss they take, if any, on resell is less than the regular money laundering "fees". Wondering how I know? I just watch too much TV and read too much crap online. Beer is my drug of choice with an occassional screw driver or marguarita.

Re: Gone ...
when I first got it a year and a half ago
My 13 yr old boy told my wife "its a hunk of junk mom " I did most of the work at my workplace so the the next time he saw it was back from paint, a week in the garage and I had most of the moldings on. Then I get a call from him "dad can you pick me up from school" ? "In the Blazer" ???

Re: Gone ...
Sup fellas!! I have been missing in action since my pc died from a bad virus, still dont have it up and running. Think im going to lose all my build pictures.
Anyway John you sold her? Did you get in the magazine before you sold your baby? This Saturday the 4th im meeting with some former members of the South Bay Mopar club. The left the group and want to have just a car and truck club and not generalize. That will be this Saturday at Stick and Stein on Sepulveda just south of Imperial in El Segundo for coffee and breakfast. Nothing formal, if you feel like getting up roll through. |
