Thanks guys for the advice,I really appreciate it.
I've only told two friends locally of my thoughts and both suggested I keep one car (one said the '69 and one said the Chevelle)and that's something I'll consider.I cut a '70 SS454 El Camino last year loose last year (wife's car...wouldn't drive it anymore)and that was painful as all hell.Luckily it went to a friend so it's in good hands and I get to see it...but that doesn't make it any easier. I can't possibly choose one car over the other...how could I?All my friends are into these cars too (11 '69 Z/28's in this area)so there would be some lifestyle changes to be made for sure. I'll continue to think hard on this,we're going on an 11-day cruise in December so there'll be lots to consider while on the high seas...hopefully my decision will be clearcut by the time I'm back home.

Well if you still feel this way later and decide to seel them! Put them all up for sale and the first two that sell are gone and keep the last one.This way you don't have to make the decision of which one to keep.Keep the one that has not sold.

I have been thinking the same a couple of mine will be going on the block soon. I just havent decided if I want to sell the most expensive one and keep the others or visa versa. As long as I can have one I can still cruise I should be happy.

I saw this & thought it was referring to a divorce.
I didn't realize it was something much more severe.. ![]() |

Have you considered loaning them to a collector car museum? This way you still own them, they aren't in your face causing stress and if the feeling truly is gone you can sell them at that time.
At least this way; if you get the itch back by having them out of your hair for a while you can always go pick them back up and enjoy them again. There are too many people with "the one that got away" stories; only in your case it would be "the ones that got away". I would think long and hard about letting these cars go. |

no big deal, sell them if you like, I went crazy and got out in '94 played with boats and came back in '99, the hunt is the most fun anyway, there will always be cars for sale.
the loaner idea is not bad if you can handle it. |

You can never really "get out" anyway...sell one.

If you don't need the money, find someplace nice and warm and covered and safe and set 'em up for long term safekeeping.
