When I sell em that fast I'm smilin also 36 Sedan
And for your return trip home we will all have to wait to see what you may find to drive home in.
Went out huntin Monday Mark and found this. All new driveline 355/700r4, new brakes, shocks, grille and surround, tires, bumpers, wood is good in the bed.Just has a piss coat of rattle can flat black on it over og paint that is a color I have never seen on 1 of these. It's a creamy white, the spd in the glove box says "Special paint." Had the usual rocker and cab corner rust, but put those on 2day Couldn't pass it upQuote:

You always amaze me on how fast you flip your cars around, and have them high quality..

3rd after the interior is redone you'll never know it a late model seat.
Regarding (as you say flippin them) I do the work on them as if I was going to own it for a long time,
I don't waste a lot of time talkin about what I'm going to do I just do it.
And lastly I price my stuff to sell, not over price em as most do.
It's a simple equation sell 10 to 15 a year @ 20/25% margin or sell 1 or 2 @ 60% a year. Do the math.
That and the buyer is tickled cause he bought a nice vehicle for 10/15% under market.
I make my money the day I buy the car. It's just good business.
Also I'm capable of doin it all myself except upholstery and have a trim guy who says I'm his best customer, so he takes real good care of me $$ wise and quality wise.
Retirement is great.
I don't know where else I could make over 10K for workin less than 60 HRs do you?
I didn't mean anything as an insult and I'm sorry if you took it that way or it ofended you.. perhaps I'll just say that however your doing it, your doing it right and keep up the good work..
And I forgot about the legroom in a '67-'72 being tight for some.. I'm 6' but seem to fit in them fine so it does not cross my mind.. I look for one from time to time since they are the ultimate 'practical' classic.. use them as a truck if you want, or clean them up for the show

Never a truer word spoken or typed right there. After my twenty plus years in selling that is one lesson that I had trouble persuading the company purchasing officer who had a greedy nature that caused on going battles.
No insult takin Matt, just stating factsQuote:
