Here is the deal... the other day the wife tells me that she liked the 1962 Starfire I owned much more than the 442. (the Starfire was in need of a full restoration, and ugly) Then she states that she does not like the 442 at all. Now I know why she refuses to take a ride in it with me. I really would like it if my wife took at least some interest in my likes.
So I show her pics of 1962 Starfires, and she says to me. You can get one if you sell the 442 BUT it must be black! Which is ok as I am partial to black as well.
So I will be looking for a black coupe with a/c... you guys know of any???
Thank being said, the rust free 442 is for sale. $32,000 455 with tri-carb, 4 speed, 3:55 10 bolt. Hooker headers with 3 inch exhausts. I am open to offers

You can settle the problem by simply buying the wife her own Starfire. Problem solved!
And then............. maybe she should show more interest in what makes YOU happy.
It is a two way street.
My 2 cents

My 2 cents Yeah, I have to agree with Bro on this one. And I know your answer, you need the proceeds from the sale of the 442 to buy the Starfire. But you got the 442 just the way you wanted you know... I know there are tons of things we do for our wives, but this is a tough one. |

My 2 cents YES! In a perfect world that would be exactly what I would do! Sadly I do not have $15-20K lying around  |

I looked over your thread earlier this morning when BR[] was the last post. During my morning chores, you`ve been on my mind, and I feel your pain. At the risk of being condemned, I`ve decided to include MY 2 cents.
My one and only marriage was in the early 70`s (typical guy with dates) I went thru at least 6 situations concerning cars very similar to yours. After 21 years in that relationship,(that timeline I remember) i had just finished a 70 chevelle 454 car and brought it to the chevy vette fest in Chicago, I received a Bronze spinner award first time out! Needless to say I was ecstatic. She on the other hand saw $$$ I gave in, and the car went down the road. SHORTLY thereafter, I sent her down the road.
Luckily a short time later, I met the partner of a lifetime !! She more often than not rolls her eyes at my numerous projects, but is always 100% behind me, if not out front.
I wish you the VERY best in your situation, and honestly hope it works for you. There has to be give and take, support, and understanding. When your at the stage when your ordering your coffin (or in my case the style of urn) you`ll realize life is like the blink of an eye

Bob mentioned that I left out some important info... the car has a 455 in it with a M-21, 10 bolt posi 3:55's and tri carb. The original 400 all rebuilt some years ago sitting on a stand goes with the car as does the original hood, 4 steel rims with old redlines. Car is worth $32,000 but I will entertain offers!

Well>>> the big question is what are you going to be happy with, a star fire or a 442, my guess is the 442, but I could be wrong. My wife goes along with me at time, but mostly it's just me, or this year the garage. Now if you asked her about the time capsule convertible I have, that of course would be a completely different answer.

My wife goes along with me at time, but mostly it's just me, or this year the garage. Now if you asked her about the time capsule convertible I have, that of course would be a completely different answer. Well, I actually love both cars, the 62 Starfire and the 65 442. I just do not use the car too often, it sits in the garage mostly. From time to time I might take it up to dunkin donuts for a cup of coffee... that is a 12 block trip. I take it to 3-4 local cruise nights a year, and 1 car show a year. The Starfire would probably be enjoyed more and the wife would enjoy being with me in it. Sounds like the non sensible ravings of the lunatic mind... I know, I know....... the saga continues! www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204824000060058&set=a.1022403080582.2004221.1240370163&type=1&theater¬if_t=like |
