Unhappy Sad day.....I sold my '96 Bright Tangerine 'vert

With my upcoming divorce and trying to figure out how to buy the ex's share of the house from her, I knew I was gonna have to make some sacrifices. A couple came to look at my Mustang Thursday night and the deal was struck. Me and my boys went for one last spin in the "pumpkin" Friday night around 9:00 with the top down and the temps nice and warm for a change. I came really close to calling them and telling them "no" after taking that drive. Let's just say I haven't really been this attached to a vehicle before. Sorta felt like I was selling my arm or my leg....it was a part of me.
Anyway, I figured I would post a few pics from Saturday morning before they picked it up.

Very sharp looking car!
Atleast until you get another one your kids will always remember that car. just like I remember my Dads 64 T-bird before my parents divorce.

First 96 mustang I ever saw (last time I was in the market for a new stang) was a Tangerine coupe. Nice car. Sorry you had to let her go.

I'm sorry to see you're selling, and to see you have to go through a divorce.

Good luck my friend

I feel it every bit of it I've been through the same thing, and if you end up with the house which with the boys that's a great move , then you can get focused and find another one. That is a Beautiful Pumpkin.
