Brace yourselves, it's true.
The deal has been in process for a few weeks, but I have been quiet on it until things became official. Very mixed feelings about it, but it's time to close this door, and open a new one. I am also going to part out my 88 GT. Next project? I will be ordering a Factory Five Cobra kit shortly, unless I win the lottery in the interim.
The new owner's name is Pat, and he lives in Minnesota. Chepie will be finished in the way I was going to. He likes the work I have started, and will finish the bodywork and paint the car, keeping it Indian fire. He is also thinking of converting the interior to white deluxe. Everything else should be kept as is. He know's the car's history, and seems to be happy being the next person to keep the car's intent intact. He was looking specifically for a 69 'Vert to drive, yet had some upgrades to make it better than stock. Chepie fit his wish list. He has promised me to keep me posted of the car's progress, I have mede myself available for any questions.
Good news for all of you here, I have absolutely no intention of going away from here. In the three plus years I have been here, you all heve helped me through a divorce, helped me with my magazine work, and actually had a very important and guiding role in the evolution of the car. A debt to you all I can never fully repay. I really enjoyed being part of the 69 'Vert club, now Pak is the only member to my knowlege. I'll keep my status as a "vert owner emeritus, if that's OK with all of you.
And finally, I posted here, because this is where it started, and I wanted to let all of you know here. Thanks for hearing me out.
This is by far the hardest post I have ever written. Thanks for giving me the space.
