Sell to whoever? Or sell to the right buyer?

[In The Ten Ring]

It's hard to imagine something original being cut up. The first online forum I joined was a gun collecting one and to even mention "sporterizing" a weapon got the comment/thread deleted and could get you banned. I feel the same way on these trucks: seeing the lowered and shortened frames really bothers me B U T......

FREEDOM! PERSONAL LIBERTY. People have the right to do what they want with their stuff......I have to remind myself of that. Once I sell something or give it away, I have no more say on what that person does to it.

If you want to keep your truck original, keep the truck. You certainly can try to encourage the buyer to keep it original, you have that right also. It comes down to personal choice. Since I have no children, I'll have to figure out who to give all my stuff to when I depart this reality. It would be nice if the heir kept the truck original but that's up to that person.

that sounds like parallax bill's forum, I drove those guys nuts with my builds because I prefer to start off with very good condition undrilled oberndorf gew98's for most of my builds.

well if a potential buyer told me he was gonna do my truck up rat rod style with fake patina, red spray painted wheels and spider webs all over it i'd probably tell him in my best clint eastwood voice to get off my lawn. but then again I never have and never will own a stock all original vehicle because its just i'm my nature to modify everything I own in one way or another.

in all reality as long as the person does a quality job I don't care what they do to it after its theirs

Once you decide to sell it take the money and move on. Just let go and let the healing begin.

I'm gonna swim against the tide on this one. Sold lots of vehicles to folks that went a totally new direction on them and I have almost every time regretted the sale. That is a well optioned pickup, and if you hold out a little while, the right buyer will come along. I wouldn't sell my truck to any one that I didn't want to. In fact, I'd just keep it if I could.

"SELL" means you 'release responsibility of ownership' and at that point whoever buys it... it becomes their 'responsibility' to do with whatever they want to.... irregardless of what you believe or want for it.....

or keep it yourself and let it rot in a garage like most "numbers-matching-collectors".....
