sell 1965 mustang my husband purchased an restored over the last year?

Question

Should we sell our 1965 mustang that my husband has restored to original condition? My husband has spent the last year fixing what once was a rough looking beast into a gorgeous car. Should we hang onto the car or sell it? Fixing things is a hobby for my husband... he likes new projects... should we sell it and take the cash for newer & bigger projects?

Answer 1

I wouldn't get in a hurry to sell, enjoy it and take it to a few shows and get some tropys to back up all the work youve put in it. It will pay off in the long run :)

Answer 2

If you and your husband are planning on making a profit from selling the restored car, I wouldn't sell it. Project cars, for hobbyists at least, almost always cost much more to restore than the prices they fetch--and considering the 1965 Mustang was produced in staggering numbers (559,451 cars to be exact) it's nowhere near rare, there are plenty for buyers to choose from. I would keep and enjoy the car; when you both no longer enjoy it, sell.

Answer 3

I say between 1965 and 1982 were the golden years of rock, with a short resurgence from 1991-1996 previously it died for sturdy. the reason I strengthen it as a lot as 1982 is to contain all of pink Floyd, Zeppelin, all the excellent American guitar rock that you listen interior the action picture Dazed and at a loss for words, the later years of the Rolling Stones, the sex Pistols, the conflict, the Ramones, the early days of U2 and the speaking Heads, and the suitable of the grateful useless's stay performances.

Answer 4

Not sure if I can answer for you. As far as I'm concerned selling my 66 Mustang was the biggest mistake of my life. Can your husband take on another challenge and keep the 65 also? If so then do that.

Answer 5

No, don't sell.. I too restore cars--never mingle one project into another. In case you get over your head in another project you may want to cut your losses and sell out. You have a competed car---- keep it and start another project. Most people finish their first project --but, there next one they never complete, turns way to complex, or sell it because they are in year 3. Restoring cars turns into mountain climbing for most--the next biggest hill, and so on. Sooner or later you find a project that is too big, too difficult, costly, requires expensive tools to complete, or just not fun anymore---best to have at least one car for your troubles----when you finish the second car, then sell one.

Answer 8

I have a special "Pony" in the garage, sometimes I have moments of insanity and think "maybe I should sell it", then I go for a ride, grinning ear to ear, and say "I'm O.K. Now", they really are somthing special (It's a convertible too).

Answer 9

Isn't that really up to your husband? Personally, if I busted my butt and my knuckles rebuilding a car, I would want to enjoy the fruits of my labor for quite a while.
