Yup another sale.... the mighty Shadow... didn't get close to what I was asking but the guy who is buying her was very clear and honest about all the faults it had, not just the choke cable. He pointed out clearly a long list of small but costly things that needed doing, and I had to accept that I wasn't going to get the top price.
But on the plus side, he's not buying her for parts.. He's going to strip her down, rebuild her, better, stronger and faster, as a present for his wife's upcoming 50th.. So she's going to go to a good home with someone who knows how to give her the mechanical love I simply don't possess.
It was a tricky sale given that its a cold wet day and I couldn't even get her to start, with no choke, but he was ok with that. I'll put her under cover with a heater to dry her out and get her starting up so he can come and collect her and drive her to her new home in a week or so.
So, one more tick on the list of things to sell off.. Heartbreaking as it is to let her go, I was never going to be able to keep her.
A few more guitars need to get sold tool, hopefully someone is looking for christmas presents.
Anyone want to buy a low milage Kia?
