I've been out of town house shopping and this thread hits home for me on several fronts.
Owning a b body for over twenty years ("the one I always wanted"), I've faced the thought to sell several times for reasons ranging from, it wouldn't be fun if it was all restored, I've got a deadly diesease and don't want the wife to deal with selling, to now, I want to buy our dream home.
Each time I've concluded that it should stay where it's at, there is always another way to deal with whatever issue pushes the urge to sell. If you have what you always want, why, why let it go?
The subject car (this thread) is awesome and has an interesting story that truly reinforces my feelings to hang on.
