Mind made up? If it's in driving condition it's always there when you decide to go for a ride.

Just pondering now. Always a blast to get it on the road, since it is a driver.

Almost certain it will eventually get replaced by something else, which makes me think that I should just keep it.

Hmmmm-

I looks as though it has some non-original parts on it.

Aftermarket wheels - the rear valence has been modified for the sidepipes.

Just a guess- You might be able to get $4500 - $5K would be tops.

Where in NC? I can be up there this weekend with cash- And will be prepared to pay you top dollar.


Car looks fantastic!!! I would definitely be MAKING time to drive it!!!
Definitely a keeper!!!

Since I asked you to post some pictures of the car you were pondering you did get a bunch of responses so I will add mine. Sometime when the project is done you think what do I do now. The color is beautiful, the style you created looks great. Take it to some local shows win some trophies, drive it and enjoy what you made or paid for or did. No more pondering............................... ........................................ ........

The million dollar ? is what is out there that will replace it?
In my case I would sell or trade in my 68 BB coupe towards a
1960 Tasco turquoise C-1. Final answer.

If you sell it make dam sure its replacement makes you warm and fuzzy or after the newness(honeymoon period) ends you may start to
have regrets.

How many guys sell their cars and you see them searching for them later on.

I mean you could get a hot/street rod but they have driving limitations.
A 55 Chevy, every country boy has one of them sitting in a barn somewhere.
Oh no not another AC cobra kit.......
A chevelle.......hum possibly.
Just make sure it's replacement is *** good or better.

I had my car(see Avatar) in a local shop where my friend lets me have free lift time.
A guy looks it over and he's immersed in it's coolness. (I think that's a word?)
He says to me would you sell it?
I said when I find something out there that's as much fun to drive or better. Have not found it yet.
The 1960 will have to wait till I'm retired in Fla.
