Like to see the pic on that one!

**Tim Christian** · 09-21-2011, 09:33 PM

I will try to dig some out. Were I moved to VA I cannot find nothing.

frednoah · 09-21-2011, 09:45 PM

Sold a 72 Buick Skylark a few years ago when I bought my 71 GSX tribute. Sat on the money until we traded in our Silverado on an SUV for the wife. Told her I needed a truck (doesn't every man?) to replace the Silverado, and the rest is history.

DT1 · 09-21-2011, 09:53 PM

I didn't sale anything but I had to make some hard deals with my wife!

Hhahaha that's nothin new to most of us!

magwakeenercew2jh · 09-21-2011, 10:16 PM

Let's see.

One year ago:

The canoe and $3000 for a completely redone 71 chassis and suspension.... ECE 4/6 drop, new power steering box 350/350, 2 cabs (68 and 71), one useable seat (going away),
new slotted/drilled disks, nice bed and complete '71 front clip.

The money came (around the corner) from the sale of pics #2 and 3. The wheels and tires came from the sale of pic no. 4. I couldn't have justified the project if I hadn't sold pic no. 5.

And if I'm not careful with dumping too much into it, , I could still lose the next two pics.

Grimpala · 09-21-2011, 10:28 PM

I sold my 71 FJ40 to fund my 72 Burb project. I'll have another one some day, but I wanted/needed the burb more than the FJ at the time.

Slick67 · 09-21-2011, 10:37 PM

I have learned it's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission! Sweet FJ!!!

flashed · 09-21-2011, 11:02 PM

I sold my wifes 68 Malibu project to fund my 72 Chevy Fleetside rodstoration .If I could sell my 55 Bel Air I could build another mancave to park the 72 in when it comes home from the bodyshop.

Here comes the rollin pin!!!!!

wwotr · 09-21-2011, 11:26 PM

I traded my 96 2 Door Chevy Tahoe STRAIGHT ACROSS,
For my 72 GMC Shortbed Fleetside, back in April 09.
My Tahoe BB'd for about $2900.00 and the 72 GMC was about $5000.00.
On top of that, the Tranny in my Tahoe wouldn't go into Reverse half the time, unless you sat there for 30 seconds or more.

But the Guy knew that, and we were BOTH happy with our new acusitions.

Actually after selling my 67 C-109 (back in 2005), I told my Wife I wanted another 67-72 Chevy/GMC Truck.
SHE was the one that suggested putting a "Trade For" ad on our Local Craigs List.
Worked like a Charm!

Shyguy · 09-21-2011, 11:31 PM

So far I have not had to sell anything to fund my truck restoration. I have however taken a part-time job which helps fund it.

flashed · 09-21-2011, 11:32 PM

It was my wifes idea to sell the 68 to start my truck so no rolling pin for me.

Longhorn Man · 09-21-2011, 11:33 PM

i sold a civic and used my income tax return to buy my first one.
income tax return alone to buy my second one
sold the second one to fund the third one getting put together.
sold my soul to the bank for the 4th one
