Well, it has been a tough journey. From building this car for car shows and drags, to having the crankcase pressure issues, to finding out you need a heart transplant, to finding the rings are bad, to attempting to sell the car at an obvious lose. That is a lot to deal with in a few short weeks!
Everything happens for a reason. So, all I can offer is to try and see the ultimate good that can come out of this. And, hopefully there are brighter days ahead after the important things are completed.
BTW, post the CL link here (I couldn't find it) and perhaps those here can direct a buyer to you. If you going to sell a Pinto, then Pinto owners are probably the most likely source of finding you a buyer.
