I'd drive the wheels off a restored car. It can be restored again.

I'd be afraid someone would hit this one.

Yup, that’s the Big problem I have with the low mileage Unrestored Survivors.

All it takes is one clown on their smart phone texting and slams into a virgin old car. The Survivor status just disappeared.

Restored cars ….. drive them, thrash them, as they can be restored again.

Or like we said in High School: "Beat it till it burns oil" Then sell it"

Of course it's now a moot point, but wouldn't this be a totally different scenario if Hank had been willing to live with bucket seats and got the SS427 instead?

Congratulations on the sale Mike. Are you going to tell us who the lucky person was who bought it, or at least where they live? Hello Charley are you out there? But I'm just Sayin...

Ha HA, I already let Charlie know it sold. He said, one less thing to think about.

Bill, gentleman that bought it lives in NJ. Friend of Don Bock.

True Charley, but man, Marina blue and Lemans blue sure would have looked good together, side by side!

Wow, you demonstrated unusual restraint with this car. If I had your money, I would have bought it...
