Buys a nice looking running car for $57K tears it apart removing soundproofing and undercoating and poking holes in it, also renders it non running, thinks that makes it a $98K automobile?
I read the first 6 or 7 pages of this back in January and already then I thought it was taking an "uncomfortable" turn, didn't see it again until today. Wow!

At least now the buyer knows much more about what’s left underneath to deal with; nothing’s hidden. No surprises or disappointments (my way of selling)

[technicalninja]

As is … NOT negotiable, for ANY of the 4 cars I’m selling!

The way things have unexpectedly gone south with ‘1482, especially wrt photos in posts #313 and #314, leave me no choice. I was serious throughout; this was always about time, not money.

Sorry

I'll call your bluff.

I suggest you do EXACTLY as MR did previously...

Take your total investment, add it up carefully, then price it exactly 50% of what you have in it.

Someone on here will snap it up (as you, yourself did) in an extremely short period of time.

If it was NEVER about money and only about time this will be the most time saving way of ending your "self induced" issue.

I'd further suggest you spend this money with a mental health provider as this appears to be what you need more than anything else.

DO IT!

Car needs to go to someone who will appreciate it...

If you truly think someone will pay fully restored price for that, it will be in your garage when you cross the "rainbow" bridge, and your inheritors will have to deal with it.

You're going to own it FOREVER!

The mental stress of the constant reminder of your lack of foresight might send you over the bridge at an earlier date than you expect.

This car is mental poison for you...

All cars have a time when the proper path forward is to pull the EJECT handle and get the hell out!

Your time is now!

It says all fluids were flushed, but it doesn't mention coolant.

I think you got ripped off too.

Welcome back, Technicalninja!

After someone buys ‘1482, then they can decide what to do with it and how to go about marketing it. Otherwise, I’ll decide myself thanks. And I have no plan to market the car like it was when I bought it.

And wrt “self induced”, I doubt many will ever agree with my point of view. That’s ok. My living through the 4 year experience, a little forensic engineering (based on my former career and some brilliant work in the Corvette community documenting originality), 1st hand examination, communications, etc. with a little simple logic added in connecting the dots lead to my conclusion of what brought me to this point. To be fair, reaching the same conclusion with only photos the group has may not be possible or easy. But my conclusion has nothing to do with “self induced”, and won’t change.

Cheers

Sorry

With regard to those photos this is a 55 year old car now, outside of those that have had floors replaced I would bet that this car is as good as 8 out of 10 would be once you take them down to bare sheet metal. Good luck with your sale!

Thanks Jonathon. In the view of one person I consulted with on doing the work, it’s financially better to replace the floor pans than patch the weak areas piecemeal.

...he says this and posts the car for 40K more than he paid. Bullshit. This was always about the money and the drama.

Recently watched the octopus murder series on Netflix and was incredibly complicated and learned don’t trust anything (that was my take away) I would say this adventurous thread is similar
