I was offered over 30K for mine when it was in the middle of resto.  Didn't take it.  Even if I made a lot of money selling my car, it wouldn't fill the emptiness that I would feel.  I would live my life wishing I never did it.

I love my car....don't want to think about not having it......or someone else driving it!!!  :grinno:

I would look at the car and say "BYE BYE BABY"

Of course my car isn't as valuble as some of yours and I have others.....

Wellllll...I've had 90+ mopars, so i've sold em 90 times. So yeah, for the right $$, I'd sell it. I'd like to keep it for awhile and enjoy it, but I know someday I'll get bored and want something different. Never kept a car for longer than 3 years (not counting newer everyday cars)...I get bored and want to change it up.

I agree Rev, NO WAY :nono:

Six figures, Maybe. I can't imagine being without one now, but for the right price I could pay off my house and get a different one and not have to work my butt off!!!  :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :ylsuper: :grinyes:

I've jusst had mine for a year, and its just a '73 driver Cuda.  So for me $20,000 is crazy money.  (I just paid $4500 for it.)  If somebody gave me $20,000 I would go out and get a better one, or a good project.

I'd have to say " No way!" I spent 3 years looking for the Challenger convertible that I've got, I've put a lot of time and money in it as far as mechanicals go ( I just had the 440 motor rebuilt,bored, honed, decked, align-bored, the whole 9 yards ), not to mention getting the correct parts for the rest of the car. I'm finally getting around to fully enjoying this car, and I don't think that you can really put a price on that. It's probably stupidly sentimental on my part, but I cannot imagine being without this car. I've had a lot of fun already with it, and I can't see that changing anytime soon.

I have had two offers in the past few months...one of the guys came by the house yesterday....It would have to be enough cash to be able to replace it with a better one!

I have had people ask "how much ?" but no one with any REAL money.  Just big talkers.  :popcorn:

I dont know.  Part of me says "Yes for the right amount" 

Everything I want I have now, and I just cant imagine any drastic improvements that another car would have, over this one.  If I was interested in getting a Trailer car, it would be easier to take the crazy offer.

Theres both fun and costs in chasing down another car and getting it setup the way I would want it though.

Id have to have another car lined up and ready to buy first.

well since I don't have a retirement fund I consider my cars my 401 K. Being that I am getting closer and closer to retirement and the price was twice as much as I would want then YES I would sell both of them....

If it was crazy money I would sell it. It would have to be some serious money though.

i built mine from a total basket case . i approached the project as a passtime not a business proposition. iin fact
if it were a business proposition  it would be a losing one.  i could have easily made over 200 grand working rather
than driving myself crazy with a big jigsaw puzzle for nearly 2 years. as far as i'm concerned  the car is only worth the cost of  building it which is maybe 35k  and that wouldn't change my life. but the satisfaction of resurrecting a classic
is priceless !!!!   so how could i sell it ???????????
