    How about the other way around. I sold a 40 Plymouth when we were house shopping. Probably was a smart move, I got a better house!

    My Honda was ripped off, so technically I sold it to Allstate to buy the Impala.

    I sold a pretty decent 1940 Ford business coupe ... with a 283 done with a Wilcap engine/transmission adapter

    [​IMG]

    Added a pile more ca$h to it and bought this coupe ... with no engine or transmission.
    Been sitting in a shed since 1958 :)

  18. Sold the Rocky 33 to build (not buy) my Touring. Sold the Touring to fund the new house stuff and got a wish list car, a 28 tudor with it in the deal! My 54 Chevy is for sale to pay off the pricey ass carpet we got for the new house. Hope the procedes build a deck and buy a welder for us!

    I dig your 58 man, but that Bassman is a gem.

    I've never been a fan of Rics, but I'd rather starve than sell my Gretsch

    Yep, If it was a Gretsch, I would be still carless. I'm starting to think I sold the Bassman for too little. UnIOnViLLEHauNT and your comments worry me.

    I sold the circle tracker that I lovingly built over a two year period to finance the BUILDING of a hot rod chassis so I could end up with the sedan. Haven't regretted the decision one second.
