Hot Rods Do you have a car that is not for sale

I made that mistake once and it won't happen again. HRP

 

Too O/T for here, but Dad bought it new in 1969.

 

My 26 ford hotrod coupe is not for sale. Someone can buy it from my wife after I am dead. I really don't know how much money I have in it I just know it is paid for...........

 

This! I would sell my 32 sedan but not the T!

 

I always say "It's not for sale." then someone comes along with the right amount of cash and..........it's gone!

 

Yes, I do. If you look in the classifieds, it's not there.

 

I have about a half dozen that aren't. A couple have been in the immediate family for many years, a few have been promised to my kids, and one was purchased to "replace" one that my dad had and let go of when he was young.

I had a gentleman ask me one day what it would take to buy a certain Cadillac I have, politely told him I was too attached to it to sell it, to which he replied "So what would it take to unattach you from it?" My reply was "Well let me put it to you like this...I've been married twice and divorced twice but that car is still right here." His reply to me, "That car isn't for sale."

 

I'm 58 years old and have had a couple of my cars for more than 40 years. I guess they are not for sale.

 

I'm right there with you.

 

I reckon I have two,my 55 Ford and my 1938 HD flathead 74.I dont think anyone but me would want the 55 and I have turned down way too much money for the HD many times.

 

I do.

 

My Merc. Fell in love with a neighbors chopped Merc when I was 7. Finally found mine when I was 46 and Sunday I will be 62. She is not going anywhere! Matter of fact my wife tells everyone she will bury me in it! Larry

 

Yes, most of them. I only buy a car if I really really want it. Then it is really really hard to part.
Stories:
My 48 Plymouth convert. I got this car when I was 17, after a long search. Me and the car bonded immediately, and I planned to keep it till I'm dead. Years back this lady who saw it in a parking lot was trying to buy it off of me. I said it was not for sale. She said money was nothing to her, she wanted the car, name my price. So I figured if that was the case, I would make sure it was enuff to replace the car with the same thing only better, and have plenty left over. So I shot her a number that was 4 times it's real value. She said "that cars not worth that much!" and walked away. (the picture is me with the car upon high school graduation)

About a 2-1/2 years ago, a broker that I know called me up and said he had a client that wanted my Duesenberg. I told it was keeper, never going to sell. He called me back the next day, and said this guy was serious, name my price. I thought the same thing as the as the 48 plymouth, name a stupid price that would make him go away, or be more than enuff to buy a better one and have lots of $$ to spare. So I said "this is non-binding, but if I did sell it, this is what it would take". He called me back the next day and said the guy was interested. Oh-oh. I ran it past my wife, who is way smarter than me. She said "you worked your whole life to get that car, now you'd sell it? You better think on this" She was right, of course. The money was more than enuff, but I just couldn't give up the car.

 

I don't have anything that's not for sale. It's just a matter of negotiating the price.

 

This is the one! ...my first car. I have had it since 1958-59, and my father bought it new in October 1929. I just finished rebuilding it a year ago in August. Still a four banger and still Andalusite Blue. ...but many, many other modifications.

My 36, was a fire truck at an airport, I turned it to a pickup, twenty years ago. Haven't changed a thing, it'll go to my daughter one day.

 

Yeah, I got a ot muscle car convertible. It was a basket case when I bought it and replaced just about all the sheetmetal. I got too much time in it and somewhat rare car to let it go. I'll probably have me buried with it when I go.

 

At a car show last month a young guy asked me if I'd sell this. I gave him a number was on the high end of realistic. He countered with a number on low end of realistic. Had the cash with him, he said. We negotiated back and forth for an hour, and when I finally caved in and accepted his offer, he back pedaled so fast his head was spinning. I guess it's not for sale. ;-)

 

My first car (primer red, 1931 Dodge Brothers business coupe) will not be for sale as long as I am alive. It will go to one of my kids. My second 1931 DB coupe (dark blue with black fenders) will go to my other child unless I get a good trade for something I really want more.

 

I have a '33 Dodge 4 door that I have had for 30 years that I would not sell for anything. This '32 pickup, however, could be gone in a minute.

 

My '38plymouth pick up is not for sale, nor is my 1964 Dodge 330 wagon, or the wifes o/t 1969 Barracuda convertible.

 

It o/t but I have the car my wife and I went on our first date in. I drove it to the church the day we got married, on our honeymoon and to graduation when I got my masters degree.
Not for sale.

Not this week, but maybe next month

 

They will bury me in this old pile of shit. This car will never ever ever leave my possession.



-Abone.

 

OF COURSE I do !

 

This one.....

 

YES, I have cars that I could {Never sell}! I also pick ones up that I have no history with, their just a fling, and I would have no problem selling them. But I could not sell my {68 Vette} that I had in high school, and I took it on our honeymoon. I could not sell my {67 Pontiac Bonneville convertible}that my dad bought new, and I took it to get my driver's license in at 16. I could not sell my { 34 Dodge Sedan Delivery } that I watched as a kid, run around our town , and I made it my life's goal to own and build. Then there's our {56 Nomad} it's just a daily driver to take the grand kids, on road trips in. I've only owned it since 1999. But most of all, I could never sell my little 29 coupe! I paid $100. for her 40 years ago. My Mom and me at 16 years old. That little coupe, and I have been through so much together. She is part of the family, and you can't sell family! ha. ha. Ron...
