"to put the car up for sale. Seems things are going to go from bad to worse. It has been a fun few years that I have enjoyed them very much. Some will go off and b!tch but that's ok. I will be putting a list of things together that will go along with it. The shame of it all is it was so close and yet so far away. "

Hey Buddy, It's very sad to hear this, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do....cars come and go....family and work always come first.

Hope it moves quickly for you

Thats too bad, Jimmy, but i can relate...will most likely have to do the same thing. At least you will have a fun ride in your Valiant until you can afford another big project like the Dart.

Best of luck

Man that sucks, I hate that for you. I have been following your ups and downs for a while now and I really feel for you. Good luck selling it.

Can't be any bigger of a hit than we are taking every month. Tony as much as I want to make that pass, the car is worth more new than with a few hits on it. As far as the hit if I get 150 for all of it I will be happy.

Never thought I would be either

I am sure I will take a loss but someone will get a great deal trailer and all.

we spent a 3 to 400k keeping guys working without having enough work but I hated to let them go. Next time I may just have to let them go first.

Life is full of lessons and I learn from everyone that I have gone through.

Man...My heart bleeds for you...
I had to lay everyone off, haven't worked since 2008... Only toy I have to sell is a 12 second Dakota so I figure why bother.

Good luck...

My guess is that it would be worth a lot more a running and dialed in combination.

Oh it runs and drives too. It needs track time I agree I just can't see spending the coin on insurance and the effort. If that is what it takes we can make it happen.

In my opinion it would be wise to keep funds aside to be spent on tuning and shakedown passes at the track with the buyer and advertised as such

Sorry to hear this Jimmy, after all you have been through with the fire and everything. Its tough when you get so close to realizing your dream and have to give up on it. Maybe you can find someone to buy it who will give you first crack at it when times get better. Keep your chin up,good things eventually turn around for good people.

I agree 100%. I would think with an investment of this magnitude the buyer will want some assurances.

Good luck on the sale. I hope everything works out for you.
