Not quite... But I'm satisfied. It reached $7,500.
I was hoping for $8,000 as the minimum, and $10,000 as the happy spot.
Mostly though, I'm almost done with this project turned huge hassle.
That is the big win from my perspective.
I'm more disappointed in the effort I put into building a nicely modified on the inside, but 1966 correct looking on the outside, engine that will not be used where it was specifically built to go.
Especially when the goal line was so very close.
I need to be careful how I talk about this because I don't want to go into a rant, but the stoppage of the project stems from an extreme lack of understanding concerning this sort of work while having an extremely misguided expectation about how things should be.
The best analogy I can come up with is they think this is an episode of Overhaulin... except the rebuilding must be done to a factory correct level of appearance.
I learned a valuable lesson with this particular project, and my nice guy personality might get fooled again, but I'm looking out for it now and hope I recognize the signs early enough to say no should this type of situation present itself again.
I have a question for you.
Did you look at the auction while it was live?
If yes, what did you think of the presentation I made for the auction?
I'm curious what other car oriented people think of how I presented this slightly different auction item.
