I person has been bothering me on & off for years to sell him my 1940 Willys Coupe project ,I almost buckled in but I don't like this person, but the cash looked real good ! My wife said no , keep the Coupe she sees how happy that old car makes me ,How much would it take to buy your car ? There are photos of my car on hamb page willysgasser40 what amount would you let it go for . LOL
It would take $4000 to buy my 61 belair bubbletop project, and $7000 to buy my 57 suburban project. but the engine parts don't go with them. I don't know how much it would take to buy my other stuff, they are mostly done and I like driving them. Those two just don't ever seem to get anywhere near getting finished.
My wife has stuck with me 27 years & over 70 cars ! She is still a real blonde & as beautiful as ever & loves my Willys
Let me tell ya from experience, it just depends on how hungry you get as to how little you will take for your baby.....
If you love it and you don't need the money, then no amount of money should buy it. Unless of course it's stupid money!
Tough call, if the guy with the money rubs you the wrong way add at least $5,000 to the selling price. I think the market value if you have the fenders and hood is $30,000 or so. Bob
Not for any price unless it's the right person. There will always be other cars, but you'll regret the sale forever as long as you don't get along with the new owner.
Keep it, especially if you really dont like the guy who is after it. I'd just keep stringing him along with no intention to really sell it, that is if you truely dont like him, Then do burnouts in front of his house when you get it done.
You're not the first who'd sooner sell a car to someone who's respectful and appreciates it...rather than to the pushy guy who leads with his pocketbook.
He had the $ but is a pro-street tub it guy ! If it was a gasser guy with that much scratch ,who knows ?
What'd the guy say in that movie "They'll still be making money tomorrow." If you can't stand the guy,you'll hate yourself more for giving into his desire? Keep the coupe.It's "money in the bank!" Congrats for having a great wife.You've won life's lottery in a two-fold way?
A friend of mine summed it up years ago when asked why he sold his cherry car. Money talks and Billy walks. When asked how much he got, he said way more than I thought that car was worth. Pat
He came by today & talked to my wife ! I am tempted to sell it on ebay or to a "friend" just to bust his balls & trailer it past his house & tell him that I lost his number ! LOL
you will be seriously pissed off in a couple years when you go to get another ( because you know you will) and pay a bigger fortune for it. i hate to sell stuff. you always blow the money. then have no money and no car
Six years ago, I sold 3 fine hot rods and got talked into "investing" the money for "retirement". The loot disappeared, the cars are still around, one just sold for double what i got. DON'T SELL.
I sometimes daydream about selling my Willys coupe and making life easier. I'm not sure what kind of money it would bring in this economy. Not enough to make me do it. Stupid car is part of me now.
Funny, I met a guy today who was down on his luck. Got layed off and has to sell his stuff. He's looking to sell a '68 Dodge Polara convertable. Sad thing is, he says he had it appraised for $35K and would have taken $8K. I'd hate to be forced to have to sell my T. What price do you put on a dream come true? Maybe if i had another ride waiting to step into and that's a big maybe. Finally getting a hot rod, getting into the coolness..... that's hard to step out of.
