Gotta Sell Her

craftybeth · 09-27-2012, 09:15 AM

Sad day at the Craft house, but we've made the decision the R has to go.
She's going on the (SIGH) Lemon Lot here at Ft Rucker, Alabam tomorrow, but wanted to let ya'll know, too.
Asking 28,500
2005 Redline 45k
MODS:
Muth mirrors
radiator Support
cross member brace
sound proofing

Build sheet on pg 52 post #1537

She's got it all...chrome package/nearly new General Grabbers (19/20s)bed liner w/ wood rails/6 changer cd
PLUS: Tow Package / Indoor Car cover custom SSR floormats/ one brand new rim (one was dented) Matching Chevy Totoe bag( can hold cold beverages) AND a large framed SSR photo of the Redline in action....all go with the R as I won't be able to look at them after she's gone. Garage kept, newly detailed down to stripped wax and reapplied zaino..as of this morning.
Asking 28,500 and not too terribly willing to deal cause I don't really damn want to sell her!!!
Warning: In this fall weather the mileage may continue to rise!!
Love to All....gonna go drown my sorrows....Crafybeth

Let me explain.

That's what the lots are called on military bases. It's a place where people can put their cars for sale. "Affectionately" referred to as Lemon Lots.

Good luck on the sale Crafty. Sorry it has to go

JOHN317 · 09-27-2012, 03:40 PM

Man, that's sad news

but good luck on the sale.

Maybe you can do it again someday. Anyway, cars/rides come & go. The friendships made here stay.

Like Meg said sorry to hear this sad news. Hope I never have to sell our little Redline Red but if we ever do it will be a sad day. Started to miss our 55's a little (Bel Air hardtop & Bel Air post) the other day then I took my friends 55 for a drive while they serviced our Double S, now I know why I sold them bought the R. Don't miss 'em anymore and love the little truck more than ever. Bowtie 'til I Die. Tennesseecozydog.

ZoomAddict · 09-27-2012, 05:21 PM

Sorry to hear this Beth. Hope one day you are headed to the lot to pickup another R. Regardless, good luck on the sale!

craftybeth · 09-27-2012, 06:42 PM

Thanks guys, situational...They've removed Mark's driving priveleges for the time being (we Hope!) And with him not working, just makes more sense...plus his Mountaineer is paid for AND holds all my stuff for traveling to jewelry show...BTW next one is Oct 6th in Ozark Alabama...The Claybank jamboree, no less!!! Ya'll c'mon down..or up...as the case may be!!! I will never forget this car or this forum and the friends we've found here!

I am so sorry to hear you have to sell. But you know you are still family.. and when the time is right, I know another R will enter your life!!!

Beth, we are so sorry to hear this news. Good luck on your sale and remember you will always be a SSR FANATIC. SSRs are forever once you have one, they get into your blood.

Gina · 09-28-2012, 05:18 AM

Well your not going with the sale!

craftybeth · 09-28-2012, 11:19 PM

OUCH!!! Actually Dropped her off, newly detailled, at the Lemon lot today...it was one thing making the decsion, making the plans, entirely another leaving her just sitting there, all alone, like an orphan, waiting for just the right fanatic to come along....my heart is freaking breaking right now.....my BABY!!!!!

oh, and ps , no we don't want to sell the accessories apart from the sale of the vehicle at this point unless future owner doesn't want them...thanks for all of your enquries....

wow, all this news - I have just read thru the thread, first time I saw it. I guess we were in So Cal when you first started it

but I caught it now

jackatg450 · 02-09-2013, 12:07 PM

Whew! That was a close call! Glad things are turning around. Paco said that she misses you and that she thinks of you each time she puts a piece of your jewelery on. Say "Hello" to Superman, and we are glad to have him driving again.

Paco and Jack

XSELER8 · 02-09-2013, 01:14 PM

The "R" lives. That's great news.
