I think Im selling my 64

Im mulling over my options.


We are getting ready to retire and thinking about moving from Georgia to Colorado, Nevada, or Arizona.


I need to thin the herd: 2 Harleys, 2 F100s, 2 Mustangs, 1 Dodge.


The 64 is losing its fun factor. Its to nice to use as a truck and to nice to cut up and modify. Out West You better like where you live, its a long way to anywhere else and the 64 isn't a good interstate truck. If I sell, it will be on local on CL. I hate long distance car selling.


Nothing is in stone yet. I have wanted to move back to Tucson for years, but now there are a couple grandkids so its a tough decision.

I thought all the work to keep these trucks going was the fun part.

The grandkids are what makes everything else come in second place, even my slick

.



Can't help but be proud. First time Kaleb drove the truck

Times like this makes it all worth while

Good luck with your decision. Bob

Nice truck! oh... and if you can't sell it... drop it off in Tennessee as you pass thru. I'll take real good care of it!

If he needs someone to take care of the truck, let's keep it in Georgia

Its been over a year now. I did some detail work, installed seatbelts and insulated the cab roof. I like to haul stuff and Im not putting anything in that bed. It is possible to have a truck that's to nice. I didn't think about that when I bought it.

that's true. mine's not too nice! lol. i'd take that off your hands if i didn't have this one. i should have bought a nice one like yours when i bought this one, but oh well. i'm learning a bunch of stuff and having fun (sometimes).

hope you figure everything out.

Are you nuts?????? Drop it off in Montana and I will store it for you. Course you will need to leave the keys for it. That one would look great sitting beside mine at shows. I have a Harley and it would go long before my 64 would go. Harley's are a dime a dozen. 64's are becoming rarer and rarer. My grandson loves to ride in the 64 and wants me to let him drive it when he gets his license.

If you buy them to flip them you don't get attached.

Is it still flipping when you sell it for less then you have in it?


I sold one of the 65 Mustangs today. I hated to see it go, but on the bright side, I have another one!

Another factor to consider, you might get a better price if you sell it out there, as far as that goes.

I am going to put the other Mustang on CL today. Its not near as nice as the one I just sold, but by mid-66 Ford sold over a million of them, they are still pretty easy to find.


I want to sell the Harleys, its just getting to risky to ride any more for us. Yesterday some idiot came around a curve at Im guessing 75+ mph in a 45, he crossed the centerline and nearly hit us. I was leading and moved to the right of the lane as we came up on the curve, had I stayed to the left he would have hit me and maybe my wife who was about 50 feet behind me.

Sold my bike a while back too. Didn't drive it enough to justify it taking up the space, not to mention annual registration and insurance. Driving became too much of an adventure. Car accidents are one thing, but I don't bounce as good as I used to. In a more rural setting things might still be OK.

Sell the Harley's. Sold my Honda after being forced off the road into a ditch. Luckily drove out the other side,and crept home after seeing my life roll by. You lucked out this weekend Shadow, glad you and the wife are ok.
