Seller's remorse

Man, how long does it take for the selling blues to go away. Most of the time I have sold cars it was because I was done with them. I just sold a car that I liked and got lot's of attention so I can start a new project...I didn't think it would be a big deal till I saw it driving away with just some paper in my hand......This is the car I sold...EVILT

 

I would be sad too.
thats a nice looking ride.

look forward , try not to look back.

 

Studies say it takes at least half the time it took you to build the car before you get over the car. My guess it will take a bit longer due to the sweetness of that thing...........slim

 

It took three months to build. Sometime around Sept. I should be O.K. EVILT

 

Thats some good advice right there. Even though sometime's it's hard because of the type of 'car' guy's we are..We have a lot of heart and soul in what we build so when they leave us it isn't like just selling "another" car.
I kinda miss my old 32 3 window i sold back in march.
But, i know i have another 5 window waiting to come back to life..

thats what keeps my mind off the 3 window..

That was/is a sweat little ride..

I started to sell my 32 and when it started to get close to reserve my insides started knotting up so I pulled it. Sometimes I wish I would have sold it !!!! Your pain will p***.

 

I think I would knot up inside if I was selling your 32.. I saw you guys at Paso 05.... You were loading up and getting ready to head back to Texas....I am starting a 27 Chrysler 3 window coupe with a Hemi. I think it will help ease the pain... EVILT

 

Just like women, there's one or two that I've never gotten over completely.

 

been there and done it man, and I've been working on my project for more than a year and still got more work than I want left. Sold a near perfect 68 400 firebird that really turned heads and gots lots of attention to build my dream 55 chevy but it still bugged me to see it go and I haven't had a fun car since.Now i'm just getting impatient.

I still wish i hadnt sold my 64 F250. That was a great truck, but space had to be made for the 48. Sacrifices must be made for newer cooler projects as i say...

 

The sooner you start working on a new project, the better you will feel.

 

Cleaning the garage in between posts.. The car has been piled with parts in the corner of the garage... Moving it out to the center for the work to begin..EVILT

 

hope the guy doesent live around you otherwise everytime you see it ,,,the knotting starts over

 

The car is going to be in Carlsbad Ca.(5 hours away)... Far enough that I won't see it all the time....EVILT

 

take me less then a day to get over it. if you built it once you can build another.

 

About 16 years ago, my dad sold a 67 camaro that had a 70 LT1 with a M22 and ****ter shield and a 12 bolt with 4.56 gears, new interior, etc. He sold it for $4800. About 35 years ago, he sold a 61 impala bubble top that had a 283 with fenderwell headers and a 4 speed. This one really tears his *** as he sold it for $50. He has had many cars and trucks but those two really bother him to this day.

 

I still haven't got over the loss of the "T" Coupe I sold to Daddy-O Over a Year ago.

Damn!!!!!!!, if the studies are true, it means i've got 3 more years to go.
Double Damn!!

 

i just bought a coupe
the seller almost broke down as i was driving it away
he flaged me down ad told me if i didn't want it in a week i could bring it back
i may drive it around and give it back or i may slam it put on some skirts and
drive the **** out of it

I usually do not miss them ...
When I am done with them ... I am done ...

I do miss the old 40 Ford coupe more than I thought I would ...
The man I bought my 32 3W from ... has tried to buy it back a few times in the past year ... But it is staying here ...

I chased it for a ... l o n g ... time and he JUST will have to do without it ...

 

I have a 1938 Plymouth. I have been thinking about selling it.. You could always build another one... PM me if interested... EVILT

 

i have sellers remorse on my van and its been over a month...and i didnt even build it.

 

I sold my '65 Olds 442 for $50.
I sold my '55 Stude President for $120.
I sold my.....
I wish I had them ALL back.

 

I sold my blood plasma once... only took till the next fix to get over it.

 

The first and only rule: Pimps never fall in love with their hoes!!

 

Well,...... I just got back the one that got away, Chopped Deuce 5/W, I bought it in 68,..... sold it in the 70's and missed it before the tail lights were out of sight. have been trying to get it back for over 30 years, the Body just came home 3 weeks ago,....... many cars that I have built have left sence then but this one always bugged me. well its back now, if you want to see the short story the link is "The Wayward Deuce Coupe"

I sold my 55 150 sedan almost 5 years ago, and I still miss it. I like to sell my cars to people far away so I don't have to see them again.

 

i sold my 61 lincoln convertible a little while back. dark blue, white top, white interior, wide white bias plys. it was a pretty nice ride, mostly stock with a little lowering. i got more waves and "thats a cool car man" from youngsters and old folks in that car more than any ive ever owned. i missed it till i saw what the new owner did to her. 22 inch rims, slammed and a blue mercedes cloth top... she is dead to me now.
