Default Got offered cash money do I unload the bird?

Long and short I just finished rebuilding a 95 bird with late model front clip, cammed, headed, stalled and all other bolt on lt1. It even has new paint. A customer offered me 6800 for the car with a reconditioned title which I told him it had. But he saw the buildup too. His wife wants to look at it saturday. I tallied everything up and I have exactly 6250 in it. I guess I'll just move on to the next project. Everything is for sale at my house including the house if you have the money Nothing is sacred. What does the Texas f-body world think about it.

If it has a reconditioned title and you are actually coming out ahead, I would do it.

The F-car market is really soft. That is a great price for a car that old and with Mods ...

I have not had a chance to drive it much. I've put 800 miles on it since the complete rebuild. But I've really had my mind on an 05 goat with a stick. So yeah I have to say if he coughs it up it's gone. I wanted to at least take it to the track once though.

T- two days until I hopefully have some cash in my pocket and a goat in the shop. That is unless Superior Pont in SA has sold the barbados blue 05 I've been eyeing. It sure has been nice not having car payments for five years though.

Sell it, thats a good bit for an LT1 car, esp one that doesnt have a clean title.
