Geez, I'm thinking that I might be a fool to let it go for $1,000 the longer I think about it, when I could spend just a day or two on it and get it running and then I could get 3x as much for it easy rather than let someone make money off from me. The car is all there!, all except the center console, thats the only thing that I don't have and the previous owner didn't know where it went, but since I was looking at it as a drag car, that wasn't a deal breaker. If I sold it for $1,000 I would be losing about $300 in the brand new radiator I bought for it. This car is going to be a fast one too, it is a real lightweight car, and was one of the lighest mustangs ever built so what I had always wanted to do is stuff a built 351W under the hood and have some fun at the dragstrip. Thats what my plans had always been, but since I odd jobbed it the last few years, I hadn't made much money and the car has sat, but thats gotta change anyways since I can't live with my parents and make no money forever!. I dunno, I am so on the fence with this one, my parents are now asking me if I really want to get rid of it, they'd kinda like it gone out of their yard, but they don't want me to get rid of something I really want and don't have a problem with it staying here as long as I do fix it. I would sell it now if I thought those guys might fix it, but it kinda sounded to me like him and his buddy have way too many projects on their hands, so when he was listing off this bunch of cars that him and his buddy have already, I started picturing an old dumpy mobile home out in the sticks with 10 junk cars (their treasures) around it, I don't have a clue if this was true, but I had a feeling that it was and there are places like that around here, especially in a couple of the neighboring towns that their zoning laws are lapse. I don't have a clue if my vision of them was correct, but that was what I was getting and I don't care to sell to someone that is going to definatly let the car go to waste. The value definatly has gone up on it, the book value is climbing according to that website. I don't want to keep it till it is wasted to a parts car either, it is way too nice for that!. That guy gave me too long to think though, so I am thinking of keeping it another year and see what happens, tell the fellow I have changed my mind for now, but to come and see me again next year if I still got it sitting there.
