Today, I sold the 1966 GT fastback, aka Midlife for a very good price. Why, you ask?
(1) My back is no longer able to allow me to bend over for any period of time, and working on the engine compartment, for example, induced unbelievable amount of pain. I have developed a serious and chronic back issue (spinal stenosis) that prevents me from twisting, bending, and doing routine hard work other than in a standing position.
(2) My harness business is taking up all of my weekend time, and I am not able to go to weekend cruise-ins and shows, unless I specifically dedicate time to a particular show. My customers come first. I was still able to take the car out twice a weekend (weather permitting) on a nice 14 mile route to keep the seals from drying out.
(3) It was apparent over the past few months that the car was becoming less of my life, and it was time to move on and let someone else appreciate its splendor.
(4) I was offered an extremely attractive price very close to what I asked for on Craigslist. Within 24 hours, I had 2 solid offers and within 4 days, I had 5 solid offers very close to my asking price.
So...I will not be leaving StangFix or any other forums; you are my friends and I have no desire to leave your great company.
Proof that this is not an April Fools joke?
