    Another "Good Bye" to Elvira

    I sold my Gen 1 Coupe (#031), named Elvira, back in 2015 to a good friend and local gearhead. He recently put it up for sale and it was sold in 3 days ($57k). Elvira is now on her way to her new owner in Idaho!

    Good bye's are always hard for me when it's time to part with one of my vehicles, but the memories are always fond. Maybe the new owner will ck in with on line and you still follow along.

    That's like losing an old friend not once but twice.

    Every vehicle which I fawned over, and tried hard to keep in good condition, once sold, was destroyed or let run down badly in a year or so by the new owner. Nice to see the fellow you sold the coupe to had some respect for all your hard work. Hopefully the new owner will as well.
