Yeah, it being a buyer's market is why I was able to afford it in the firstplace. I made him an unrealistic low-ball offer and he took it. I have to sell because I'm a college student with way more expenses than I realized.
I cannot afford to keep restoring the car (much as I want to), nor do I have much help. Granted I have you all here on the forum, but you can only do so much online from across the country. I'm the only one of my family and friends that appreciates muscle cars, so I know more (which isn't much) than anyone else I talk to. I have to park her outside because I don't have a garage, and I don't feel good about that. I only have a ratchet set, a hammer, and I just got a jack last christmas, so I don't have any of the tools I need. I am scared everytime I leave her in a parking lot (she's my daily driver, so she goes to school with me whenever I don't take my motorcycle). I don't really have as much time as I need to fix things and tune her up when she needs it (since I don't have a garage, I have to finish a repair the day I start because I can't leave her in pieces in the street overnight).
She's been for sale off and on for a while because I've been wrestling with whether or not I can afford to keep her. I try to convince myself I have the time and the money, and MeanGreen has actually spent some time trying to talk me into keeping her. But I just have to see that only rarely do 22-year-olds own a car like this because only rarely can they afford to. I've learned a ton owning this one (and I've loved every minute of it), and I am excited for the next time I can buy one to keep, but for now, I just have to admit that I'm not in any position to own a car like this. Much as it pains me, I should get something fuel-injected, that's geared for the freeway (I commute to school, so everytime I take the cuda I have to drive 55 the whole way), doesn't need more work to make it like new, and if someone opens a door into it or rearends me at a stoplight I won't care (at least not as much).
