My car is gone.....

[streetk14]

It is official. Like the title says, my '67 Camaro is sold and gone. It got loaded onto an enclosed trailer this morning and is on it's way to Nebraska. I don't think it has really hit me that the car is gone yet, but I know I will miss it. Despite that, I sold it for a very good reason; to take advantage of the current market and buy a home. I got a fair price for it, and am happy with the sale.

For now, I will not have a running P.T car. I still have my '68 Camaro, which was my first love and I have had it for over 10 years, and was first set up P.T style back in 2000. It was my daily driver at one time and I have many fond memories of it. I will never sell it for that reason. It is about half a car right now (no front sub, drivetrain or front sheetmetal), but it will be an active project again some day. I was in the middle of an LS1/T56 swap when I bought my '67 3 years ago and ended up selling off my parts and/or using them on the '67. The '68 went into storage and all my effort and time went into the '67. I don't plan to start on the '68 any time soon, but it will be back on the road and as nice as my '67 some day.

For now, I'm looking at picking up an LS3 C6 Vette to replace my '08 BMW M3 that is my daily car. While it won't technically be "pro-touring", it will be a fun performance car that I can play with and modify. MY goal is 600 rwhp, so it should take care of my need for speed while being a reasonably practical, reliable car with good mileage. It will be put on the dragstrip, and hopefully some track days and autocross. I actually will not be driving it every day like I do with my M; I have an inexpensive car lined up for the daily commute.

So, yeah.... It feels strange to go out to the garage and not see my car there. On the other hand, I feel a bit relieved and my bank account looks VERY nice. In the end, I think the car is going to a good home. Anyone in the Lincoln, Nebraska area better watch out. It's bite is much meaner than it's bark

Here are a few of the last pics I took of the car. Enjoy,
