December 29, 200619 yr Such as : Using "no-reserve" auctions to sell off the fleet A change of occupation Re-location Having just one vehicle for a while Selling off my garage full of tools and equiptment Other radical notions are crossing my mind as well.
December 29, 200619 yr Don't use no reserve for the Hawks if you can help it. Judging by the comments from your last auction, the average Ebayer won't know a collector vehicle if he got run over by one. Did you ever try the DuPont Registry. I really think something like that would be your best bet.
December 29, 200619 yr Author I won't be using Ebay for the cars. There is a collector car auction in Atlantic City in February and that would be where I would auction the cars.
December 29, 200619 yr Dude.... do NOT get rid of your tools... whatever you do tools are sacred. If it was me, as far as the hawks I'd put one of them on ice and call it my retirementn fund. Just stuff it into the corner of the garage and pretend it does not exist. Stabil for the fuel, remove the battery, put jacks under the car's four corners and some moth balls under the seat. Lots of people got bored of thier low milage COPO 69 Camaros back in the mid 1970s and sold them off for $1000 - $3000, must kind of hurt now in 2006 when they'd be worth at least ten times that. Even after inflation and storage hassles the best thing to do with the Hawks is keep 'em, at least ONE of them. :twocents: :wink:

I think I could pare all of that down quite a bit. I'm feeling limited in my choices simply because I have so much stuff that would have to move with me if I were to move. Hell, even those industrial shelves are mine. Next to nothing in that barn belongs to anyone else. As far as keeping one of the Hawks goes: It might be possible if the other cars go.
December 29, 200619 yr Just out of curiosity, what is the motivation for these potential radical thoughts?
December 29, 200619 yr Author Financial necessity and frustration with the status quo. I need to make some changes and I'm feeling cornered, which makes me nuts.
December 29, 200619 yr i hope everything works out for you man, from what ive seen, you have quite a collection of cars... if i actually had the money, id buy a Hawk from you in a second flat!... i agree with the idea that if you can, keep at least one
December 29, 200619 yr Camino, if I had the money, I'd buy your GTO in a heartbeat. But I couldn't swing the payments (unless you take $1200 for it, I could do that). Maybe in a year or so after I find a job. Whatever happens, good luck to you, sir. You're a lucky guy for getting to know those cars.
December 29, 200619 yr Author Whatever happens, good luck to you, sir. You're a lucky guy for getting to know those cars. What a great way of looking at the situation - thanks for that.
December 29, 200619 yr Author $1000 for the Maserati and I can come get it TOMORROW Add 4k and it's yours. ( Less than half of what I have in it)
December 29, 200619 yr Pick and choose your options wisely. You know the variables better than we do. Wow, sounds like quite a list. I, myself, will have both an occupational change and a relocation in 2007, so I'm stressed just thinking about it.
December 29, 200619 yr A change of occupation Re-location Those two are on my mind as well (I hate feeling cornered too): 'Relocation' is decided for mid-2008 (might happen sooner) and 'change of occupation' will most certainly happen as a consequence.Think about what skills you need in order to get the job you want, get some training if needed, and most of all try to make things as stress-free as possible.
