I put an ad in Craigslist on Thursday, FIFTEEN minutes later I got an email. The person drove up here today with a truck and cash. It is a father and son that I know from thier other cars (Morgan and TR7). They are finishing up another Coupe right now and this will be the son's. They will be good stewards.

Good stewards or not, it still brings a tear to the eye.

It was the right thing to do for the car's sake.

Now what's next :)

I really wish I could have gotten that , my dad would have probably skinned me alive but it would have probably been worth it , he does like the coupes more than the convertibles though .

Carl. glad you sold it. I was surprised it didn't get sold last weekend. Just wish I would have been in a better position to add another one to the collection but as the wife says, it wasn't meant to be.............

That must have been hard to let go! Those are such neat cars. 15 minutes is quite the deal tho.
