John, I think you are doing the right thing. I can take that Elky off your hands right now for $500 if you can deliver to Roanoke, VA. :) Give that all the consideration it deserves.

I'm going to call Hagerty for insurance on the Olds so that I can take it out on sunny Sundays and also to give it a good going over. I just took it off my regular insurance a couple of weeks ago. That car never fails to cause people to shout out "do you want to sell it?" I am going to finish the work that the El Camino needs to be roadworthy, most likely including the replacement of the floor pans, and I will have it buffed out. I seriously doubt that I will have it repainted though. It is decent looking and mechanically and cosmetically everything is brand new, so I should be able to get a half-decent price for it. Neither of these cars was ever my "dream car" so I don't mind selling them. I'm sure I'll have another old car at another time. The El Camino did make me ask myself why I am pouring so much money into cars that I don't need when I don't own a house. I had a nice house once before and I'd like to stop paying rent and take advantage of the low interest rates. It's a practical decision, and I think that for once in my life even my dad would say that I'm doing the smart thing. I still love the old cars but I think I should be concentrating on the bigger issues first and then come back to my frivolous hobbies.

RE: [Chevelle-List] RE: FS - 1968 Ninety Eight convertible & possibly 1969 El Camino
When I said it was a "frivolous" hobby that was a joke. Hobbies are supposed to be frivolous, or at any rate, you're not supposed to worry about whether or not they are practical. For 5 years I have not worried about how much I spent on cars, and I've enjoyed them the whole time. I'm not begrudging the money because it has been fun and has helped me to keep my mind off other things. Right now I live in an apartment and rent garages though. It costs me $300/month in rent just to garage 2 cars. I also have to work on my cars in the street, and anything I start has to be finished in time to put the car away. Anyway, I still love the old cars and I have bought and sold plenty of them over the years, and there isn't a single one that I feel I shouldn't have sold. As someone else said, the important thing is to enjoy them while you have them. So, back to your regular programming. I guess I just got a big reaction because of the El Camino just being painted. I'm not the first person on this list to write in to say that I want to sell my car, and I didn't think it would cause such a ruckus.

John, I fully understand. My first new house broke me. I had to sell my best car ever up to that point. A 1961 #'s matching Corvette. We had no furniture to sit on. Since that time I have had 6 cars as things got better for me.

Re: [Chevelle-List] RE: FS - 1968 Ninety Eight convertible & possibly 1969 El Camino
John: I don't know how old you are but your plan is admirable and the mature thing to do. It will serve you well in the future. When you buy your "garage", make sure it has a house attached to it. LOL. You are correct to take advantage of today's low interest rates. I've never seen nor envisioned this in my lifetime and when they start up again, all hell may break loose! As long as these are not your dream cars, you'll get over it. I'm sure when you get settled in your house/garage, you'll buy another old car. Maybe the next one will be your "Dream Car"! One thing I don't agree with you on is calling this hobby "frivolous". Enjoyed sincerely and done properly, not taking anything away from family and obligations in life, there is much to say about the pure satisfaction about owning & working on old cars. Some people collect coins or stamps. Some play golf. Some just drink or gamble. I like my old car. And from the looks, comments and drools I get whenever I take ! it out, so do alot of others!! Good luck to you. Look me up at North East next week if you're there. Phil G. 65 SS - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [Chevelle-List] RE: FS - 1968 Ninety Eight convertible & possibly 1969 El Camino
I think with the previous issues of the car not turning out right, people have misinterpreted your post as you getting rid of the cars and buying a house. I think if you had said you were buying a house and decided to sell the cars a month ago, nobody would have thought this. All that said, buying a house is the best way to keep with the car hobby. After all, you can't usually rebuild an engine or do a body off in an apartment car port! Buy the house, build some equity, and buy that next project car!

Re: [Chevelle-List] RE: FS - 1968 Ninety Eight convertible & possibly 1969 El Camino
John, I totally agree with you. A house is a much better investment than an older car, and a house is something you can have the rest of your life to cherish and enjoy. Plus, the intrest rates are incredibly low right now, and this is the BEST time to buy a home. I'm not against you selling your car at all! My dad has had 20 old cars growing up, and he doesn't regret selling any of them, because he had a lot of fun with them. There's old cars all over the place, and you will be able to get another one any time you want. If you feel like this is the right time to sell your cars to buy a home, by all means, go right ahead! Your 455 Olds will get you a lot of money!

Well, I'll suck up my previous comments, and say that ya gotta do what ya gotta do. If buying the house is what you gotta do, then do it. Good luck with it, I've been there, and it's a pain in the rear, with all the forms and what not. One day, you will buy that "Special" ride, and then you will have the house, and the classic. Ah, the bliss. Anyway, keep up the posts on this list. You always seem to have positive inputs, and just 'cuz you don't have the Elky, doesn't mean you can't stay a major player on the list. Reading all the posting's from all ya'll, keeps me happy. There's not too many Chevelle guy's/gal's up here in the Last Frontier.

I just took it off my regular insurance a couple of weeks ago. That car never fails to cause people to shout out "do you want to sell it?"

Neither of these cars was ever my "dream car" so I don't mind selling them. I'm sure I'll have another old car at another time. The El Camino did make me ask myself why I am pouring so much money into cars that I don't need when I don't own a house. I had a nice house once before and I'd like to stop paying rent and take advantage of the low interest rates. It's a practical decision, and I think that for once in my life even my dad would say that I'm doing the smart thing.
