Goodbye

[Matthew Goeke]

Ive been thinking about this for months and the time has finally come, when i got the car all of the lines were rotted out, the engine hasnt ran since 93 and i had no clue about how to do anything. by the end i was able to get the car running and driving but it is definately not ready for the street. i have someone coming to look at the car tuesday and i already talked to him about it, he wants to keep it stock which is why i think he is the right buyer. he will appreciate it alot more than i am. Who knows maybe later down in my life i will end up with another gbody but for now this is the end of the story -Matt

What was left to do to it to make it street ready?

If you end up selling it tell the buyer about the forum and maybe we'll see the car again.

Matthew we have all been there. I had to sell a few cars before I moved cross country and it broke my heart. Sold my 5.0 Mustang 20 years ago because I had to commute and needed a car with better gas mileage. Then in 2004 I bought a new Mustang because I always wanted another one and sold that one to a Relative a few years ago when I knew I was going to be home to care for my Dad and needed to get my finances in order. I never wanted to sell any of them but I just had to make changes no matter how much it hurt.

There are plenty of good G bodies out there. If the bug ever bites again you might be able to get something that runs and drives good and only needs some minor fixes. You never know?

Good luck to you and hope the sale goes smoothly.

Mathew, thanks for contributing to this great forum. You tried your best and you took care of your priorities. Best of luck, study and work hard, enjoy yourself and keep posting here once in a while. You don't need to have a G Body to be a fan.

Whatever you decide to do in life remember - grease under your fingernails is not always a bad thing.

Good luck to you Matt, hate to see you go..Like buick7332 said, study hard, get a good job, and buy your next one all ready for the street! I think your grandpa would be happy to see it go to a good home, if it helped you for your education!

and like Ed said, check in from time to time, you have g-body inside you now....

The shame of all this is you have a beautiful piece of history that will not fall in your lap again. You ask for advice and when it's not what you want to here you go offence. (How to pick a master cylinder). The fact is you have been working on this car for the better part of a year that should take a good day to fix. You are so close but ????

Was just peepin at the missouri CL and saw this car, and here we are. Sad to see a gbody owner part with his g, but it's what you needed to do. I wish ya the best, can always be part of the forum. Lot of knowledge on here. And hey, get a good job out of college and you might be able to afford a better one, maybe even a GN.
