Hello all,
Well, a lot has happened since I posted a few weeks ago saying I was
thinking about selling my 69 Chevelle SS396. In addition to using the
knowledge I tried to pick up over the past 12 years of owning it (at
various local car events & regional ones like Carlisle), I set a price &
advertised the car and after a few weeks of getting lots of interest &
callers & lookers, I did find someone who really wanted the car & was
willing to pay what I think was a pretty fair price & nnI sold it this
past Sunday.
The past 12 years of ownership have been mainly ups and the car provided
many times of enjoyment for me & my dad. And that is what I bought the
car for, since he's the mechanic in the family & he really loved to
tinker & fix everything under the sun and I know he would have never
bought one on his own. But after losing him to cancer now and not being
the talented mechanic type myself and not having the time to really spend
with the car to learn in order to take on those larger tasks which are
called on from time-to-time to keep it going in its primo shape, I
decided to call an end to my foray into the 40-year-old cars.
While my next step will be to move to something current that still has
some HP but with lower miles (I like the looks of this new HEMI
Challenger that's coming & the Shelby Mustang also doesn't look too bad),
the last 2 items on my Chevelle task list are
1) to advertise a PILE of new & used Chevelle parts & manuals &
documentation & trinkets such as diecasts & clothing) that I have
accumulated over the past 12 years (I have a TON of stuff and for
everything that's new I'll try to get about 50% of list price and for
anything that's used I'll take any reasonable offer). I'd post the list
of stuff here but that'd probably be spamming, so if anyone would like to
see the list, you can drop me a line @ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2) to say goodbye to everyone here & to THANK you for all the help to my
specific questions over the years & for all the general good info and
entertainment you've provided all along.
Thanks!
Jim -former-SS396- H.
