Default Sold 'Vette today

Was a great 4+ years of having her in our lives, today she went to a good home and I wish her well.......

My wife, son, & I went for one last farewell lap around the neighborhood and then passed the keys to the new owner...

Time for something with a backseat, thinking a 70-72 Chevelle...

Very somber mood around the house right now :-)

Kevin

Sounds like you gave her a good home for some time and took her out for some fun. Enjoy your next car and maybe you will be back one day.

I have been contemplating the same myself. My kids are getting older and want to cruise with dad. Something with a backseat so the whole family can go. A '68 - '69 Chevelle SS would work for me but it would be hard to get rid of "the mistress" .

At least you guys are thinking of keeping it in the Chevy family.... BLAIR - say it isn't so!!! I guess I'm further along in the family lifecycle than you guys are. I didn't buy my first C3 until 2 years ago. I have 3 kids in college, and own 2 C3s. I'm going to buy a 3rd so all will have something to remember dear old dad from. Nothing like watching your son/daughter drive a C3!!!

LOL Kevin! I guess my question to you is, can you live with a family full of NY Yankee and NY Football Giants fans?

Do you now feel like stteve Martin in the movie "the jerk"-wandering around now with just his golf cart. lop. Don't want to ever have to feel that feeling of watching someone else drive off with my hard work.

reality is, is that a 70-72 chevelle will probably cost you more than what the vette sold for...

I must admit that I too have thought about selling my vette but then...... my better judgement gets a hold of me and i just say what are you nuts ..... I would miss my car too much. the only I would sell mine is when I am done (lol) with my car and would look for a new project (another C3).

I'd think someone in 'car sales' would get a car with a back seat as a perk?
