Guess I can chime in about selling my car now…

It wasn’t my intention to sell my 73Z after all these years (not to mention the time and effort for the restoration) and it really was a very difficult choice, but I truly believe it went to the right person in the end.

The new caretaker had virtually the same car back in the 70’s. He shared some vintage pics of him with his original 73Z with me and it was like a Deja-vu feeling. I think he might even duplicate those photos with the replacement Z for nostalgic purposes? My car has always lived within a 2 hour drive of where it was sold new and it ended up staying local, which meant something to me as well (not sure why – just sentimental fodder).

It was a combination of the integrity of the buyer, along with all the historical factors and future intentions falling into place (and perhaps a little “grease” in my palms) that finally persuaded me to let it go. I am convinced that it was meant to be.

At least I got to participate in one fun car show and receive a special award with it after 15 years of resto efforts !
