Our Jeep found a new home

Last summer, we bought a Jeep to have as a farm truck. I've always wanted a Jeep, and we found this 1970 CJ5 for a good deal. She needed a little work, but we thought she would be a good fit for our farm. Well, she turned out to be not as useful as we needed for farm use. Being a 4 speed manual, the boys weren't big enough to drive it if we needed them to help with something. I love that jeep, but we decided a few weeks ago that we didn't have the time to put into her like we needed to. We decided to put her up for sale. After weeks of "tire kickers", I got a call on Friday as I was driving to Houston from a nice gentleman in Pensacola, Florida, who saw my ad on Craigslist and wanted to come see the jeep. He told me on the phone that from the pictures, he couldn't see himself leaving my house without her. We ended up setting up a time to meet on Tuesday. He asked me to please not sell it before he could come, so I promised I wouldn't. Normally, I wouldn't hold a vehicle for someone, but decided if he was willing to drive 5+ hours to my house, he was a serious buyer. He sent a message this afternoon and said he was at my exit and I told him they could come over and see her. He took her down the road for a drive and decided he wanted her. I know he already had his mind made up because who drives 5 hours with a trailer behind their vehicle and doesn't buy it?
He loaded it up, we signed off the title, and he and his wife were on their way with a couple of bath goodies and business cards. He and his wife told me about some festivals they have over that way that I will plan on looking into and also a few shops by the beach that might want to carry my products! Added bonus!
It just goes to show you that you never know who you will meet and the connections they have. My boys and I were sad to see CJ(the jeep) leave, but I'm glad that she will be a beach jeep! They live by the beach and she will be their going to the beach vehicle. It makes me happy that she will be going to someone that has the time to put into her. So, if you see CJ riding around Pensacola, give her a little wave from me and the boys.
