well... what can I say... sometimes life just gets in the way. 
As some of you guys know, I have chronic pain and it has come to a point where I am no longer able to be the loyal employee I once was. I need to be able to make my own choice in when to work, rest and exercise. Therefore I saw no other option than to let my baby go and invest in my future.  I`d rather see someone else enjoy it than have it deteriorate somewhere in a barn and become one of those "I`ll fix her up some day" guys.
I sold it  to a couple of great guys, father and son, in Germany.  I think they will be on here soon enough to continue the story   :2thumbs:

Here`s the last batch of pics from my side   :bigshades:

Thanks all for your support and wisdom over the years    :worshippy :wave: :netherlands:

Sorry to hear you had to let it go Bart!  :sadwavey:

I saw the intro post from the guys sold it to.  :bananasmi

Remember, these are just cars......your life and health on the other hand is serious business.

Get better, and stick around!

Wow Bart after all that work I didn't think you would let this one go.

I can understand when your health takes a hit it changes your perspective on life.

Glad I got to ride in it once beforehand, and sorry you had to sell.

Wow,
It was nice watching your Cuda change along the way.

Life is full of adventures, twists and turns. I hope things turn out okay. Life is too short.

Hey Bart,  :sadwavey:

Yes, I think you did the right thing for putting your family first when we spoke about this possibility. I would hand over my car, parts and anything else I have if I could have my son Jason back. That is a tough pill to swallow, but you have now opened the door to starting a home business the way you will want to run it. Look on the bright side. When your business takes off, you will have the money you need to buy what you really wanted, a Challenger!  ;)

It's had be bummed all day. I feel sad you just got it finished after all those years and then had to sell it. Didn't hardly get to enjoy it.  :'(
Hats off to you though to think of the greater good. I hope you get rich as heck in your new endeavour and then get another E-Body!  :aarg:
