Sometimes, conditions change. Health issues develop as we age, interests move to other areas, financial needs change, etc., etc. Meaning, nothing is static.

Tried once to sell our car but after uncovering it and taking it out for a spin and new fuel,no way could we ever let this car go.Finally learned to stop feeling guilty having it sit for long periods because of so many other interests.Also leave it uncovered so we can enjoy just looking at it.No other car on this planet stirs the soul like a big block Cobra,remember when the first magazine article back in the 60's came out.It was then that I discovered that there was a car that could make me forget about women for a minute.Just for a minute I might add!!!! Our car is parked so we see it everyday in the shop,the way life should be.

When I had to sell mine it was the only car I ever sold that I almost cried when it left. And I still miss it. But it was set up for road racing and not really a great street car. Plus my failing health and the 118° days here in the Summer made it impossible to drive very far. I didn't want to just have it set and rot so I decided to sell it to a cousin who wanted it. There are just to many reasons why people sell them to really pin it down to a few common ones I believe.
