Sold a car...

...to my dad... sort of.

A few days ago, I listed the 505 V6 I bought in April since I didn’t have time to do anything to it since I bought it and didn’t want it to continue rotting away in my backyard.

The actual reason was that I have been hoarding cars for the last few months. If you read some of the useless posts I wrote, you might have noticed I have bought quite a few cars in the last months, and they are all still here. Currently, I have 9 cars at home (including 2 parts cars).
Last week, I decided to change some things: the action plan would be to:
- Sell the 505 V6
- Sell the RX-8
- Sell the 6 cylinder Bel Air
- Sell the A4
- Dismantle the parts cars
- Keep the Pajero, diesel 505, and V8 Bel air
- Have a 4th slot for car flipping (mostly RX-8s and hot hatches)

So I listed the car as a parts car, since it needs some major work to put it on the road safely again. I had a lot of requests, but nobody was ready to pay my asking price of 1500€. One guy was really interested in buying the engine and wire harness, and I figured I would get more by parting it out.
I called my dad to ask if I could use a lift this weekend to do the work, and after some beating around the bush, he admitted he didn’t want me to sell it. So for now it stays, and I hope we can get to work on it together when I’ll have a bit more time on my hands (I’m changing jobs in a few weeks, so my commute will be 2 1/2 hours shorter, allowing me to finally have a life again).

Any more shots of that 505? Looks awesome.

I removed the trailer hitch, and the pan was there to catch the dripping brake fluid from the rusted brake line.
It needs some major work done.
It looks worse in person.

That's purdy. Too bad.

Well, since it stays in the family, we’ll bring it back to the road, and I can borrow it from time to time :)
