The idea of moving prompts the idea of selling my 1969 El Camino. The wife has been very supportive in my project, however she doesn't like the idea of spending over its resale value. Which I would go over if I continued the project.
I think every project car would qualify for that honor....
To convince me that I should sell the El Camino, she has agreed to let me get a loan for up to $9K to buy my dream car (1967 Chevelle), once we get to Columbus.
That doesn't sound too bad....will she be open to you spending money on it once you get it?
1). Do I sell my Elky, give into the urge of a 67 Chevelle and take a large loss on what I've put into the Elky ($5500 total spent)?
I'd probably go for the dream car if I were you...that's what I set out to do when I found the '78....it was my second choice, but my first was a '70-72 and they were way out of the price range I set.
1b). If I did sell it how much would I be able to get?
1969 El Camino Malibu
Super cold A/C
New Suspension all around (PST kit(polygraphite)/gas-a-just/springs)
New brakes all around (Drums)
Brand New Michelin tires all around
New Holley 750 carb W/Holley Contender intake
Rebuilt rear axle
new split bench seat
(see www.angelfire.com/retro/project-69)
I wouldn't take less than $4500 for it.....
Also if anyone has any info about Columbus Ohio I'd sure be interested in knowing what it's like up there.
Very nice people there I hear, but no one....and I mean no one....drives over any posted speed limit at any time (I got this second hand from two different sources, I've never been there).....
