Well, there is more to it but I don't like to get into too much detail, but the part I'm lacking is the funds. I had a job change around the start of the year (still with UP) and there was supposed to be a significant pay increase... but it's not really panning out like it should have. Much of my logic for buying the car was that I could finally afford to build what I want, but that doesn't seem to be the case. A car like this is going to be a money pit and if I don't have the funds to do it right, why bother? I haven't made any decisions about what to do with the car yet, but money plays a big part in the project unfortunately.

I am very sorry to hear that. I thought it was more basic than that. my apologizes. I hope everything works out for the best one way or another.

Bummer, I was really looking forward to see how this one turned out. I get it though, car resto is no joke money-wise, and there's no sense of doing things half assed.

So I have been thinking my next project is going to be a fox body mustang but I gotta ask what's it going to take money wise to buy this?

You & me both Cory, I've been pretty stoked about building this thing but without the funds and me having too many irons in the fire, I'll let someone else have a chance at it.

Sorry for your loss Greg, it's never fun to walk away from a project.

Thanks Scott... I should have just hung on to that '71 SS I had back in the day!

Well... I paid $2400 and have the reserve set at $2000, I'm hoping to get more than the reserve and close to what I paid.

Thanks Bret, I wish I could hang on to it but it's just not in the cards. I'd still like to see your car one of these days!
