She is a fine gal and she likes my cars and trucks too. I am happy to let her drive them and enjoy them. She actually gets a kick out of it when I drag another pile home. She doesn't mind crappy paint jobs and actually thinks it's kind of cool. She is supportive and smart. She doesn't bitch about stuff, but expresses her opinion. She has her own money and I have mine. She understands that my vehicles are a passion, as well as profitable. She knows that I can handle that part of things. We settled all of that stuff before we got hitched.
Of course, she holds me to my promises too.

I almost got a divorce over the garage. My rule is, only motor vehicles and related parts in the garage, no house hold crap! Our rule now is, I get the garage, she gets the rest of the house.
I sometimes wish my wife didn't like my cars. The only problem I have is she wants to drive them all the time!

I think we scared him off. He tried to delete the post. That is his first and probably only post. I think he was looking for support and we pretty much told him he has no stones. I'll be surprised if he comes back. Maybe his wife should read it.

Folks, this post is not about spouses. The OP seeks to know what his car might be worth.
He has made no comment about your spouses. Perhaps you owe him the same consideration.

Yeah, everyone on this forum wears the pants......>RIGHT.
I would leave the forum also. This post is nothing but a whipping post session.
The OP asks a fairly simple question and posts his scenario then gets rode into the ground.
Maybe he values his wife more than a freaking car. Maybe he needs the money or they will lose their house. Maybe they have medical bills. Whatever the reason his wife told him he needs to sell the car, what business is it to pass judgement on the guy or his wife?
All you tough guys would be the same ones sitting down sobbing in your beer if your wife walked out on you. And while no one wants to be told what to do, sometimes you need pushed when tough decisions or tough times arise.

Tell her "No Way" My wife has learned if she wants something to happen, tell me I can't do it!!! Well really she would never tell me I had to do something so it's not an issue here. If my wife knew I liked the car she'd help me work on it.

It would be great to see some pix of the car! I have looked at cars described as "almost finished" and they where a pile of....well...rusty parts!!!
Just saying!!!
