Default I Sold it. Happy day...Sad day

The funds were deposited today by the new owner of my car. I guess you could say selling it was a decision based on the wild hair in my arse. My wife and I would like to invest in lakefront property on Lake of the Ozarks and the Cobra was equity that may help us do this. I posted an add here on CC and it was sold in a very short time. I think mostly due to originally buying the car at the right price and being able to sell it at a fair price.

After owning my Unique for app. 2 yrs. it will be shipped to Germany where the new owner lives close to the autobahn (Yes I'm jealous) My car was originally built by Dick Fleisher in Texas, Even though I never met Dick I've seen pictures of him during the build process. And talked to one of his friends. Just the fact that I've sold a material item and I'm thinking about how Dick would feel knowing that his car will be on the Autobahn in Germany is either a testament to my soft side for cars or a true testament for the love and emotions that these cars tend to grow into there owners.

I will buy another. The only changes I will do different is it will have a 500ci + BB with tons of torque, a solid axle, 17" tires? and a short throw shifter / trans. That already sounds like a lot of fun! (lets see how well this goes over..."Hey honey...I've got an idea!!")

I can't thank the members of this forum enough for all the help and information that was provided during my search & educational phase through our ownership phase. This really is a great resource with a bunch of great people. And I have every intention of being a bigger part of it in the future.
