    Well, I thought it would never come to this- but I have been unemployed for almost three years and it looks like we may have a hefty vet bill coming our way. So, it is with the utmost regret that I am selling my baby. She has been the best car that I have ever had and this just flat out kills me to sell it.

    If you know anyone who is in the market for a 4dr Customline, very solid, all stock with the exception of the Areostar spring in the front, 239 Flatty with 68k actual miles- please feel free to contact me. Pictures are from before it had been lowered- having issues with the laptop that has my most recent pics.

    Here is the Craig's listing-

    I feel your pain! I hope things turn around for you soon,you have been a valued member of this group and we hope that you will still hang out with us.Please put up a post as to how new members can get on the Group map and also a link to finding it on Google.One of the best opportunities to make that sale would be this weekend at "Back to the 50's" this weekend at the Minnesota State fairgrounds as you may have read on the main board this is bar none one of the largest events in the nation.Best of luck to you! I hope things get better soon.

    Sorry to see this, I'll mention it at the northwoods cruise-ins and shows. I'm heading to "Back to the 50s" tomorrow, got lots of friends over there, and Iola is only a couple weeks away, thats usually a good car mover event. Stay in touch, always enjoyed reading your comments and info. Gary

    Sorry to hear you have to sell. I just wish I could buy it, but I retired the first of the year and just can't do it. But, I would like to say that I saw this car last year at the Cheaters cruise in Milwaukee and it is a nice car thats why I would like to have it.

    Our economy is in a sad state when educated people are having such difficulty finding work. Your car looks great and sounds like a bargain. I sent you a PM.
    I hope selling it helps turn things around for you.

    This is sad news indeed. I know how you feel, I'm about two steps from that myself. Good luck with the sale and your life.

    That's really bad news, Scott. I'm with OLM on the economy turning around. I'd say there'll be a distinct upturn on November 7, 2012...unless something goes very wrong, in which case the economy will NEVER turn around...

    If I wasn't going to Afghanistan so soon, I would throw the cash down. Good luck, and I hope something comes around so you don't have to sell the car.

    Hey fellas, thank for all of the support and words of encouragement. I am trying to do everything I can right now to hold onto it. Selling everything I can think of to pay bills and keep my head above water. I'll keep you all posted.

    Hey Scott..... boy I wish I could give you my job as I'm retiring if Oblabla doesn't get re-elected. I've got a few buddies that might be interested in your car. One guy I know was dissapointed that he didn't get mine and he is the type of guy that would let you have it back if you wanted it..... for what he would pay for it..... I just sent him the link. Take care my friend, I hope all works out for you.
