Considering selling my 68 130 120-130 1968

I get kinda attached to cars - particularly my two Amazons. I'm the second owner of each and feel a sense of responsibility to take care of them until they rust away to nothing.

My 68 130 is a nice little car. Paid $1,500 for it and I've spent significant time and money upgrading it over the last 3 years. I've got more upgrades as well as a nice stash of 130 parts for it. I'd wager it's worth at least $3000 with its current upgrades and minimal rust condition.

Yet... I rarely drive it. It's a poor choice for a 5-mile commute through city traffic. I pay fees on it and have limited storage space here for it. I've got a 67 wagon that I'm even more attached to that hasn't see the outside of my garage for a few years.

On top of that, I'm cash-strapped and my wife's 945 is feeling worn-out with 225K miles and what feels like a failing steering rack. I'm not sure I want my child rolling around in the 940 much longer.

My main worry is that I'll let this car go and never see another around here again. Or worse, I'll see it again and someone has rat-rodded it.
