My 68 Mustang GT fastback 2+2 with the 390 HyPo.....
I got $ 700 for it trading it in on a ford van in 73.

That was at the insistence of the same first ex-wife who convinced me to sell my '68 Sportster XLCH to buy her an engagement ring. Same ex-wife who kept dragging me back to Massachusetts no matter where else I managed to get to.

Her....I do NOT regret getting rid of. nor her replacement, ex-wife # 2.....

My '72 boattail Buick Riviera. Traded it, the last time the gas went out of sight, for a VW rabbit diesel. That wouldn't work this time as the diesel is higher than gas. Have you thought about the ethanol being more expensive than gas. 10% ethanol comes to $4.00 a gallon and the gas if it was 100% is $3.96 a gallon. Just a thought!!!!

My 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. Bought it for $700. Friend had it stored in a barn with a stripped transmission and sold it because he owed the IRS. Fully restored it. New paint, interior, wheels, mags, double pump holley carb with a gas line as big as your thumb, high rise manifold, headers w/ dual exhaust. Sweet! Sold it to a friend ten years later, who had it promptly stolen. Never found. Loved that "Beep, Beep!" horn.
