well, I decided that the fleet was more than I can maintain, I listed it on kijiji and had 2 responses in 1/2 hour. I contacted the first, he came and looked , and we agreed on a price!
It was that easy, a listed it with what I thought was a realistic price,, and the market agreed.
It is off to a good home, I will look back and regret it ,, but I'm realizing that I'm not going to get all the projects I have waiting....
If I didn't have the 46'000 mile 55 chevy 150 2 dr,, there is no way I would have thought about selling the 57 ...
It only took one guy to look ,, and off it went...sometimes , the car hobby is a mystery.
I had it listed for $8757....

also glad/sad for you. I might have to sell my 59 if i dont think its going to be used down in mexico, plus where im going to be the streets are pretty narrow and alot of them have cobblestones. Post back if you get any symptoms like cold sweats or shaking!!
Just goes to show you that if it's a "decent" car & "PRICED RIGHT" it sells!!! Anything under 10 grand seems to move quickly. Once your over that it "STALLS"

It wasn't easy to let go, bit at the same time, there are only so many things , cars a person can get to. I was just never goon to get to this one. It sure was fun with the 4 gear and 3.73.
