Default The 69 is SOLD!

Received a nice deposit this evening, the 69 SS will be making its new home in Indiana.

Now, to finish up the long awaited drag car project.....

Brandon, I sold it for $60K. The original amount I wanted out of it. Basically the value of the parts and car, but without any labor charges to build it.

Most shops would charge $90-100K to duplicate the car, but I did it for fun

The next one will be meaner

I'll miss the car, but I have the others to keep me busy. I'm sure the other ones in the driveway will soon become quicker for some reason, haha.

Dang Tony...I kind of figured your next announcement was going to be a new building in your back yard, not that you sold a car!!

His sig was already outdated - no 'Vette!!

But I guess if I had that many cars with that much horsepower, the last think I'd worry about is my signature picture!!

Say....I need a sig picture!! Gotta get together with Slammed Am or one of those guys.....

Brandon, something to the exotic build standards of the Mule would be about right. Probably go with a dark colored car this time, either storm gray or similar. Haven't decided on if it will be another 69 Camaro or a 1st gen Firebird yet. Depends on what I find out there

Yep, my sig pic is outdated. I want to lower my orange car and put the new wheels on the C6 before snapping any more photos though. That way it won't get outdated so quickly again!
