well a sad day sold my bee
« on: October 12, 2009 - 12:38:02 AM »
I decided to sell my 69 Bee. I kept looking at her and my unfinished 70 GC which just needs reassembly after resto. I realized i dont have the enthusiasm or the desire to do another ground up resto, too much work and I'm too stubborn to let anyone else do the work. Compiled with a bad economy and needing to pay some bills off i let her go, even though i probably could have swung keeping her i let her go to someone that will do her justice. Now i can concentrate on the GC, which i will never sell. Some of this lack of enthusiasm is also from getting married for the first time(at 44) last new years and taking on an 11 and 15 year old,lol all the extra money and time i "had" is now doing honeydoos. Although when i have to get away i go up to my shop and lock the door. lol
 I will also enjoy having more room in my shop without the Bee in there. One day I might buy another and maybe not. Its time to tighten the belt for now and work on getting my GC finished

I had tears in my eyes the day I sold my 69 Charger, but things have come around even beyond full cirlce and now I have a big-block Cuda that I never thought I could afford-and I have 3 small kids at home. Stay positive things always work out. :thumbsup:

I can imagine it wasn't very easy to let that car go. You said it though, it's good that it's going to someone who will have the time to get her going. Maybe you can stay in touch with that person and be able to watch her being built, and one day maybe you can talk them into letting you ride in it.
