A sad day

Tiny · 2025-08-12T11:28:17Z

After 21 years it's time to say goodby to our '38. After ankle fusion surgery, which makes it difficult, often painful, to work the clutch, the car spends nearly every day sitting in the garage. Rarely being driven is very difficult on cars as you all know. My plan was to leave it to my son when I pass but he's expressed little interest in keeping the car. He just doesn't have the emotional connection to the car that I do (while I've only owned it for 21 years, my connection to the car goes back 60 years). A friend, who's told me numerous times over the years that he wants first shot if I ever sell it, will have the opportunity to buy it today. I guess it's time to put up or shut up. 😀 I'll offer it to him at the friends & family price. If he can't or doesn't buy it I guess I'll put it on Hemmings Auction. I'm happy it'll live on with someone but sad it's not me. Oh, well. Time marches on.

Just signed in to Hemmings and I'm not seeing it yet this evening.

Maybe tomorrow.

They said it would be visible to everyone starting today. I signed out and tried to find it this morning and was unable to find it. I sent them an email asking for clarification. Edit: I just looked at my "seller dashboard" and it's telling me that there's 7 days 10 hours left in the auction. The auction is supposed to be visible to everyone for 7 days. My assumption is the visible to everyone time will start after that 10 hours is up, at 4:30PM central time today. If that changes when they respond to my email I'll advise.
