gotta let her go :(

Hey guys, I appreciate all the help I've had on this forum. Unfortunately I will need to sell my S code Mach 1. It is a fantastic car and have never dreamed I would ever sell except for when the time came when I was too old to drive. But we are planning a move out of the country and need to start selling off all our stuff. If anyone is interested I have lots of photos and can take photos or video footage on request.

 

It has less than 100 miles since restoration and I am asking price of $35,000 is just below its NADA classic car value.

100 miles? So you didnt get to even enjoy it?

My wife and I took out on nice weekends for a short drive around and stop at the local Dairy Queen.

 

It is awesome to drive, but time for someone else to enjoy it. I'll find something else after the move.

Where are you going? I retired from the military, and did 6 tours overseas. It's not as hard to ship overseas as you may think. You could get it to Europe for about $2000 - $3000, maybe cheaper. Parts for repair and routine maintenence may be more challenging though.

 

Matter of fact, if you really want to sell, you could probably get more for it in some countries. I did three tours in Europe, and I know they love American muscle cars there and could probably sell it better there than here.

We are going to south America and there is not the same market there.

I put it on Craigslist today and have had quite a few people interested. I would be interested in knowing how to advertise overseas though.

Any thoughts on that?

How much would it be worth to an overseas buyer? It is a factory S code car and I have the Marti report for it. The car won Best Ford in Show and 3rd place concours at a Concours d' Elegance show in August.

 

It is very tempting to figure out a way to just take it, but I just need to let it go.

by the way for those who have not seen it yet, I have a page with a few videos. I posted this here during the summer. They are 30 second videos because that is all my digital camera will do. And for whatever reason it produces large file sizes for such short videos:

I also have some high resolution images and plan on taking more of the undercarriages tomorrow. The last 2 files are posters I created for a car show, they are high resolution so feel free to use any of it you wish. The hard part was taking the top view of the car. I stood on my garage and my wife drove the car out slowly as I took many shots of it. I then spent a long time piecing all the images together in photoshop to look like one picture. It was more difficult then one might think becuase the lighting was different on the car in each shot due to the car moving to a different spot for each pic.

Ebay for that country (if you can type the language would be one way.) I've heard that Mustangs are popular in Brazil if that is where you are off to. Find the car clubs once you are in country would be another way to get tips on selling.
