Re: [BaadAssGremlins] beautiful 67 rebel 343, 4spd for sale

Hi Terry and good question about why people restore a car, only to sell it later. It really all depends on a whole variety of factors. I have seen.....job losses, mortgage problems, spouses or family member die or handicapped, move on to new project, boredom, school, financial, rather endless list. Gary works for Exxon here in Houston, and before this had a nice "B" SC/Rambler that I passed on...he almost got it finished and something happendd in his life that he sold it for $5000. So never can tell.

 

With me, I don't get too attached to them and sort of treat them like girlfriends in high school and move on. However! Some.....like my 68 Rebel convertible "Machine' you sort of take a liking to regardless of what it may/may not be worth and the car sort of grows on you. Like herpes. Which then reminds me of old girlfriends in high school again.

Nice car. I would love to have something like that. Unfortunately my wallets says give the Gremlin a bath and be glad you have it. I do have a dumb question and Gary is sure not the first one who has done it. Why do guys spend years of their lives doing complete restoration on cars and when they get them in prime condition they sale them. I have been going to shows for 10 years and it happens every summer. Guys bring out their beautiful cars in the spring that they have been working on and talking about for years and by September or October at least 50% of them will have them for sale. I know it is not the money with the price of things there is no way you can sale them for what you have in them. Is it just the act of turning old worn out metal into a thing of beauty that does it for them. Just wondering.

Terry

Gary stopped by a few months ago and I checked out his Rebel It is a ultra
early build, first week of production if I recall and a stunning champagne
paint for 1967, too bad AMC didn't keep that color around for years. He did
a top notch job on the restoration, it is a rare 343, factory 4 speed car.
He notified me it is on ebay so ya'll go take a peek, sure would make a nice
adition to anyone's collection.

Eddie:
I've put my 67 Rebel SST 343 4 spd on eBay. I'm selling because I am buying
another AMC. Can you post this on the AMC-List for me. Appreciate it.
Thanks.
