Okay, I'll step out and be the lone voice in the OD wilderness and say: sell it.I have been asked if I would sell my 109. I have been thinking about it, but didn't think I ever WOULD. I can't believe I am thinking about this. I even set a price. Whats wrong with me?
Here is my simple thought...I see so many people with stuff they want to keep but will never do anything with. Let it go to someone else that really wants a 109 project and will fix it up now and enjoy it. It's better for the 109 too.
I see people that have lots of stuff (like a '67 Mustang) rotting away in their yard, but they wouldn't ever sell it. They end up with more stuff than they can ever restore and use. So in my example...the car ends up being worth nothing because it sat out in the weather for years. The owner lost out from the money by selling it and other Mustang owners lost out since the car and parts were ruined.
If you don't have the time now, let it go and take care of the projects you have going on currently. Enjoy the remaining MVs you have and move on - don't dwell on a project you don't have time for. It seems you're already thinking this way now.....something is telling you to sell it.
If you sell it now and regret it in a few years, you can buy another. Maybe prices will be higher, and maybe they won't. Perhaps you'll sell it and never look back.
It just seems like there isn't a reason to keep it and let it sit outside and deteriorate for years. What have you gained by that?
From my experience, when I got done with a project car - I was usually going to sell it a few years later. When I did, I was ready to move on to the next one. I haven't thought much about the ones I sold, since I enjoyed them, but have a new one to drive.
