Default Said good-bye to a car today...
My Sunfire Yellow '67 with 427/400, AT, AC, PS, PW, PB, 2 tops has a new owner in Seattle, WA. I hated parting with it, but it's part of my plan to reduce my inventory in anticipation of retirement. I have "only" 5 cars, but I just don't drive them as mucjh as I should, and I wanted some of them to go to someone who would drive them and enjoy them, perhaps even show them.

Bye, old friend...

Ya sure, you say you're reducing the inventory and then you go buy a TR6 that you didn't need either!

Is your other Vette a coupe small block or a ragtop? Pics please....

Let me put "reducing my inventory" like this: One thing is to simply reduce the number of cars I own, so another one or two will be sold. Also I want to reduce the amount of money I have tied up in cars. There's a world of difference between what my '67 costs and what a TR-6 costs.

Other Vette is a Roadster, both tops, SB, AT, PS, factory side pipes, Goodwood Green with tan interior. Original carpets, body never off, 1 re=paint, 46K miles.

Makes sense, are you selling the green one as well? Love that colour combo.

I doubt that I will sell the green one. The '56 T-Bird is definitely going. It's anoter beautiful, rare car (due to the color combo and stick shift), but it's just isn't fun to drive, and the value has been stagnat for years.

I wish I could say hello to those. I have to reduce inventory too, but not with anything anyone here would be interested in.

Thanks for the pics, she's a beauty. Factory AC , teak wheel, etc. Too bad it's a 2 speed powerglide.

Is the stick on the t-bird a three speed or four?

Only 3-speeds were available on them back then. You could get overdrive, but mine doesn't have it. It does have wire wheel covers, padded dash, seat belts, back-up lights, PS, radio, both tops, and fog lights. It's Thunderbird Gray with black and white interior. That color is very rare.
