time to say [ i am out ]
since sandy hit i have been unable to keep up with the parts wanted and get stuff shipped out in a timely manor i have decided concentrate on the house and family for now,
i am out of all third gen parts i have sold out and given up since the flood, i still have 3 cars and hope to be down to 2 soon, keeping my 89 formula convert and 91 hardtop z28 a good 90% of the inventory as well as both trailers are gone now the 16 foot car trailer as well as the 24 foot inclosed, i dont have time to injoy this rite now, the parts thing was just a Hobie that i enjoyed but no longer can, this has been very hard on the wife as well as the kids, maybe when back on feet i could due something again but nothing like what i was into it before,
i still am willing to help locate parts or direct you to someone who may have the parts,
Thanks to all i met while doing this its been fun, this is a tough thing for me to due but i must at this time, have enjoyed selling and meeting people from all over the world,

Re: time to say [ i am out ]
Ted- never dealt with you, or know you, but my heart goes out to you. I know what
a life changer something like this can be. Pick up running stop sign against a Harley-
bike and rider loses. I didn't lose my house, but like you, I found family to be most
important (thinking about my grand daughter was only thing kept me alive that day.)
Life may never be the same again, but you continue day by day, and it tends to get
better. Best of luck and God bless.

Re: time to say [ i am out ]
Ted my prayers are with you bro. But I know once you get bit by the third gen bug you never leave for good. You'll be back. And even as a parts locator, your services to the third gen community is greatly appreciated.

Re: time to say [ i am out ]
Was sorry to read about the troubles you had. We've met a few times. Not sure if you remember, but Red also lives in Toms River.. she lost her 69 Camaro due to Sandy. (She also has a 91 Z28 convertable.. red, but that was in FL at the time ) She was lucky with her house as it was built 4' up, the water came right to her door. The rest of her neighborhood wasn't so lucky.
All the news stories are about the boardwalk and tourist areas and how well it's all coming back. Seems like the locals aren't getting the same treatment. Hopefully things get back on track for you.

Re: time to say [ i am out ]
i know was at the school for all children affected by sandy and met her son and grand daughter, the grand daughter is the same age as my son, even tryed to buy it to save it but never herd anything about it, out of everything i had third gen related i have only 2 cars [ no where near sandy waters ] and very little parts left to fix what 2 third gens i have so i will be on hunt to find parts i need to fix both cars, but up first is the 91 z28 [ hope to have at least drivable by august[ even if its only got a seat in it, then the 89 formula convert,
