Money, mostly. And I really need to start making moves on getting my hat-truck put together.
Same reasons you're selling it, mostly.

Yeah.
When I bought this, I was stoked... I spent a lot of money with a person well known in the FE world on engine stuff and he stiffed me for many many months. I had to go the CC fraud route. That put me behind, and left me out of sync with my other projects.
Leaving an almost a permanent hex on the whole concept. I never really had the same joy about it again. Today I undertook getting it done in a serious way and it just wasn't rewarding.
Blah.
Reminds me of a recent Barn Hunter episode Tom Cotter did with a 4 door Fairlane.
I remember that one.
I love original cars..............

Wanna schedule a weekend thrash?
Hell. We were trying to figure out where to do the December meet-up. Could be at your place?
Once she's running you might love her again?

dammit stampie!!!
(Seriously, i understand falling out of love. You're making a good call.)
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
Interesting... he does get around huh?
I was joking!
A forum member is coming next week to look the car and parts over.
If that does not move forward I'll post a detailed listing in cars for sale.
Thanks for the interest!
So... it did sell to a forum member.
I'll let the member have the joy of the 1st share, lol... on to the Jaguar!

I don't know what you're talking about.
Giggity
You know how when you buy a car you all of a sudden want to get accessories for it?
The deal a_flordia_man and I made had me picking up the parts asap but I had until January to pick up the car. I started looking for a smaller enclosed trailer say a 5x8. Found some and was going to look at them then thought you know my sister might have something. Text her saying I was looking for around 5x8 and she says she has a trailer they want to get rid of. 8.5x24. They own a closet organizing business and bought the trailer in 2019 to go to trade shows. COVID hit soon afterwards so they think they only did a couple of shows. Gave me a deal I couldn't pass up. Now everything should fit inside and a_flordia_man will have his space back.
My unsolicited opinion on this one. Assemble a mild FE with an electronic engine conversion, the dual 4v intake with a dual holley pro-jection setup under hood. 4 speed. 3.23 gears. Add hot rod red pin stripes and make it a driven darling.

That's some Mofo style luck my man!
In reply to Stampie :
That'll make a great addition to your Grosh. What, triple the square footage under roof?

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet but I'll tell you this, a_flordia_man didn't show but 1/4 of the stash it's coming with.
In reply to Indy - Guy :
It's too big to get over the ditch right now. Trying to find a place to store it temporary.
The trailer pulled great from SC to Jax today. I found that passing a semi around 75mph causes it to suck in right as the rear of the trailer gets to the nose of the semi. Did it once at 78 and a sway started. Just let off the gas and it went away. Above 72 it keeps the Suburban out of OD so set the cruise to 72 and go.

This is true. Like most, I am better at buying then selling.
Very happy that you are happy.
Very happy to also have the driveway, garage and 5ft of the storage building back too.
We got the heavy stuff loaded up. About to take a lunch break then back to work. Just wanted put off a picture of the cool taillights.
This is what you look like after a day with a_flordia_man.
We had a great lunch at Chompers Diner in High Springs. Then back to work. We got smarter in the afternoon and used his truck to move the totes into the trailer. I tried to get him to throw it in on the deal but he passed.
Then we loaded up the car using a snatch block and his truck pulling.
Here's the stash of extras that came with it.
There's also more in the car. Highlights are two 390s, one 360,all complete in pieces. Then four intakes two aluminum and two iron. Also Offenhauser valve covers, Mallory distributor, and mechanical rev limiter. Several cams, gasket set, bearing set, new lifters, new water pump. Complete extra 9 inch pumpkin plus a LSD for a 9 inch. Basically just about everything needed to build a strong 390 with enough parts to offset the cost.
