My opinion. Keep the GTO. Stupid to sell it after you just got it the way you want it. Bet you will regret selling the GTO more.

That's exactly the issue I am having lol. If he had called me in June it would have been a done deal.

I do have one other interested buyer from Florida. Said he could come after the new year possibly to check it out. If he doesn't come through then I am probably keeping it.

Unfortunately the GTO is a tough sell. Even tougher when it's modded and not 8k like most of them lol. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to take a small loan for the SS. Need to focus more on the business this year.

Just write the loan off as a "Business Expense" - you need a car to demonstrate on right?:Funny_Smiley:

Truthfully I don't like GTO's. Just see it as stepping backwards a lot by condition and usefulness . Old 99 car with 3 speed or 06 car with 6 speed.

At minimum buy the 99 off a loan as a 2nd car.

Don't lie Don your a closet Mustang guy! Ha-ha.

Totally agree with what you are saying though. If I could swing a loan I would.

The good thing about the SS is the trans, rear etc are all pretty bullet proof.

Unfortunately my GTO trans will need a rebuild sooner than later at some point, the stock driveshaft isnt going to hold and who knows about the stock rear differential. GTO stuff is just as pricey as Corvette stuff lol.

But I did take it out the other day and it is a very very fun car to drive and you did an amazing job building and tuning it.

Oh it definitely doesn't justify it at all. It's really the sentimental value of it. If I don't hear back from the interested buyer this week (he was getting settled into a new house) then the gto is staying put and getting some sticky tires put on it.

Oh and I will probably have to come see you about installing a battery cut off switch in the back.
