Good Luck with the sale. I know where you're at; I sold my (bought in '72) MGA a few years ago when I realized it had been sitting in my sisters garage too long and I would never find the time to get it running again. But there were about 8 years of fun with it, including my very first autocross where i tied for 2 nd place to the hundreth of a second, lost the run-off though.

Strange - this happens every to me on Craigslist.  I listed the car and got a call in 45 minutes - the gent is nearby and stopping off here in 15 min to see the car. 

Seems like the best time for anything to be found is the hour right after it hits Craigslist.

I wish you luck with the sale. You're right, it's time, even though it will be hard to let it go.

The gent who came over is 2 years older than I - has a couple of other collecttor cars and is working on a Crosley Hotshot.  His wife was not feeling well so he couldn't stay long.  He said he'd follow up tomorrow - we'll see.  I sure won't count any chickens there.

I've never seen one of those before. Good looking cars.

Good luck with it.  If he knows enough to restore a Crosley he must be excited about your car.
