Why did you sell the car?

It was a painful choice. I love the car since it has so much history.

Briefly, here's why I chose to sell it:
I'm not a bodywork or paint guy. I can do damn near everything else, but I suck at bodywork and paint (a man's gotta know his limitations).
The car has a number of areas where rust is starting and really taking hold. So I had three choices.
1) Keep driving the car and let the rust continue to destroy it.
2) Pay to have someone do all the bodywork and paint.
3) Sell it to someone who really appreciates the car and will work on it and give it the attention it deserves.

I am simply not in a financial position to do #2. That's reality, so no fairy tales here are possible. So that left me with choice #1 or #3. I didn't want rust to claim this car, and I came to the realization that the best thing for the car was to sell it to someone who will (hopefully) love it like I did.

Classic cars with hubcaps and wheel covers is probably representative of what the overwhelming majority of them looked like when they were first purchased from the Dealer's lot. I love seeing that even though I couldn't bring myself to drive a musclecar adorned that way.

That 71 Bee was in the survivor tent - 25,000 Miles

I never saw the owners though every time I stopped , and they kept the hood closed

Would have loved to hear more info

I went done that road back in 2000,sold my 69 charger rt 4 spd trac pack because I could not afford to fix the rust. Had it for over 20 years and I was the 3rd owner. For me I didnt want to be that guy who says 1 day I will fix it and it rots away in the yard.

Carlisle is on my bucket list. I need to see it at least once. I'd go broke shipping parts back to Oregon.

I spoke to a guy who drove his Dart from Washington state. He made a vacation out of it.
