Goodbye Old Friend ...I will miss you !

[johntpr]

Sad day for me...had a long time !

Wish I didn't have to sell !

[Ghoste]

I'm sure it will be appreciated in the new location too.  Think of it as sharing the experience.

[Aero426]

A great car John.   I'm sure it's been a good ride.    
It will be easier when the yellow one comes home.    
Even so,  I am sure there will be moments you will miss the F6 car a little bit.    
These cars get hold of you, and it's very easy to become attached to them.

[moparstuart]

I'm glad for you that you were able to sell it in today's market, hope you got a good price for it.

Best of luck on the new project.

[Charger-Bodie]

Did they shoot a "flow coat" of clear , that it has no paint on the masking?

[Big Bird]

John, you just put a bullet through my heart !  Can't believe you actually let "our" car go. Between the 2 of us we showed that car over 19 years. Of course under your reign it was dramatically improved. When you have time , share the story with me. In the meantime can't wait to see the debute of the yellow car. On a sadder note, i lost my wife to that horrid dimentia desease on Nov. 17, 2011. I know that you were very close to the long illness.

Hi John, sorry to hear you had to let that beautiful F6 machine go. As you know, I do know how you feel. On a positive side, man the Y2 paint is looking awesome. I know you are going to do a great job on it, good luck and looking so forward to seeing it out there.

yep, a sad day.

On a brighter note, not sad for one new lucky Daytona owner ( not me unforunately dagnabit)
Is he/she a board member?

[hemi68charger]

Johnnnnnnn??    Are you going to tell them?  

[resq302]

Wow, hope you got close to what you wanted for it.  I knew it was breaking your heart to let it go.  Just think of it this way, you could always get another toy in the future.... maybe one a little less expensive that doesn't have a wing or a nose cone.   You and I both know that if I had any way of coming up with that kind of money it would be in my garage but with where I am with my life right now, there was no possible way to make it happen.  Im sure it is going to a good home and I can't wait to see the debut of the Y2 car.

[Scaregrabber]

Did Dave here in Kelowna B.C.  buy it?

[GeneralLeeTESH]

The MOST DANGEROUS thing when owning any WING car....is simply....
BEING married !!!

[GeneralLeeTESH]

glad  i KEPT mINE ! nOW i SAY, " i DON'T !"     

[nvrbdn]

glad  i KEPT mINE ! nOW i SAY, " i DON'T !"     

could be a wise choice

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Wow John, congrats/condolences at the same time.  You and that car were synonymous with why I love this hobby....having a high dollar 100 point show car and having the ca-hones to actually DRIVE it.

The new owner will be lucky to have that ride!!

[Mopar John]

John,
I hope the yellow Daytona turns out so well that it helps ease the pain of letting loose of the other!
MJ

[NYCMille]

Hey John -

Dude... it's weird isn't it? How these cars become like members of our family. I kinda want to say "I'm sorry for your loss", but that would just seem a bit odd I suppose. Either way, I am sorry that one of your babies had to go, but sometimes we do what we have to do. Now of course if I had to sell my Charger I'd prolly be in therapy for a year... but that's just me.

Hope all is well man.

Mike

[69_500]

It has to be hard to part with such a nice Daytona. But it will not be much longer and the Y2 car will be finished.

At least the new owner will very happy with this ride.

[Charger-Bodie]

The way I look at it when I sell a car is this: It was a dream come true and now it will help another dream come true...... Win Win!

True but you upgraded this time Brian. Now that your at the top of mountain with the HEMI Daytona there is no where to go but down.

There is another step thats even higher. A real XX Vin Hemi Daytona 4 gear. I would like to aspire for that one day,but will be perfectly content with what I have if it never happens

[WINGIN IT]

Johnnnnnnn??    Are you going to tell them?  

So what are you sayin' Troy?
Got a green meanie headin' down to TX?
Hmmmmmm?

[moparstuart]

Is  it ray? 

[nvrbdn]

 

[resq302]

I will respect John and let him say if he wants...

[resq302]

Same with me.  Its not my business to say who he sold it to or how much.   

[bill440rt]

My sincerest condolences, John. Must be heartbreaking, to say the least. I know how much you loved that car. I'll sure miss seeing it as well. It always blew me away every time. Your attention to detail is astounding.
Can't wait to see the Y2 car! Looks like you're doing a fantastic job!   

Hope the Daytona has a great new home, wherever it is now. 

[johntpr]

Thanks you eveyone...I owe much of the knowledge I've used on that car to you all.

It's gone to a good home, but no one on our board etc.

[RJS]

Hey John,

Good "bad" NEWS!!!!    That Daytona was the nicest out there!   Time for the Y2 to take the Throne...

[richRTSE]

I've never seen the car in person, but it sure looked awesome in pictures. Must have been hard to part with it. F6 is one of my favorite colors on a Daytona.

[FJ5WING]

Are we going to get the new owner on the board or is he going to be doing hot laps in it during his spare time?

[Aero426]

I think if he wanted to do hot laps, he would have bought Troy's car, LOL. 

The new owner of John's Daytona is Ray Evernham.   Ray has been building a collection of all the Aero cars and the Daytona was the last that he needed to have one of each.    He indicated a while back that he was looking forward to attending the Indy meet in July and was likely to have some of his cars there too.   Ray has a very nice facility in the Charlotte area to display his cars which are both street cars and race cars.    He's says that he is very happy with the F6 Daytona  (as just about anyone would be).

Yeap.. Now that you let the cat out of the hat, I came in 2nd........ missed it by "THAT" much.... 

Ray also picked up a real nice F8 C500.... Spoke to him and he pointed me to this.. Nice addition.....

[FJ5WING]

the bag might as well have been see through the way you guys drop hints.

good thing it wasnt meant to stay hushed.

[WINGR]

Hey Troy, that C500 looks familiar. Did he say whether it was an auto or 4-speed.

Thanks,

WINGR/Steve

[held1823]

looks like it might be the one from vegas that was listed on craigslist?

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/2821220812.html

beautiful car. or cars...

[hemi68charger]

Thanks,

WINGR/Steve

Nope, it's not your old 500........ It is a 440 auto 3.23 22" rad. car.............

[WINGR]

Didn't think so Troy, I thought it was the one from Vegas too.

Thanks

He should have bought my 4speed car, right?
