Darrin Forum / Darrin #164 sold
« on: June 20, 2020, 06:15:52 PM »
After a year or so thinking about it, i sold my Darrin to a great owner and KF member. 
My family had the Darrin for about 46 years, I was ready for it to go to a new owner.  I appreciate the honor or owning the car and the joy it brought my dad as the owner and also to me (that he passed it down to).  Thanks also to the KF / Darrin owners and this forum for when I have needed questions answered about the Darrin. 
Trust when I say it was hard to turn #164 over to a new owner.  However, it was the right decision.

The Darrin sold at 145,200.00.   I didn't get to see the live auction but it must have been a VERY well recent restored car.

I still have #164.  No didn't sell to him..  he isn't a buyer prospect. :-)   My dad passed away on January 2nd and I really was not in the mind-set to sell .

Looks like there is one Darrin on the docket this year.  Will be rolling across the stage on Saturday.   Black with Red interior.  Lot # 1302;  serial number 161001128. 

I guess who ever restored the car really liked the look of the car in black..  the engine compartment looks good.  The top looks good.

Jake,  I have just recently been able to "meet" the person behind the mascot in the calendar picture.  Sometimes social media can be a WIN!

Hey Jake..  I had all the original carpet in our car when we purchased.  All the carpet was loop, there was no "fuzz" carpet.  Do you have any documentation about the fuzz carpet?

yes.. that is the one.  That was from a photo shoot with the Auburn University mascot (first Aubie year) for a calendar.

I will soon be advertising my Darrin for sale.  I will post the details and pics later and will also have this information for the KF Bulletin.  The Darrin has been in our family since 1974 and we have enjoyed it all this time. It has been restored and won AACA First and Sr. award after the restoration in 1998.  I consulted Darrin owners and the Darrin "list of details" when I was restoring to get it as "showroom" as possible.

2 years ago I had a mechanical restoration done.

 I just don't see a future for me in keeping the car and I have come to the hard decision to sell..

I ONLY want to sell to a KF owner / enthusiast.  Not taking it to auction or selling on any online auction... I want Darrin #164 to go to one of you..

I will be sending the specs and pic to Terry T to have it added to the KF bulletin and a notice to the Darrin Owners list.

Thanks SO MUCH for the updates. Yes, Please keep us all informed on how the progress goes. Restorations of many cars, the Darrin included will die if the technology will not be there to help, but it will have to be affordable.  Preaching to the choir...

Anybody know if 3D Printing for Darrin parts, i.e. trunk hinges, door handles.. has been researched?   Or does anyone have the CAD specs on any parts.. chiefly the trunk hinges?

What is the cost for the upholstery (Pine Tint) and how do I arrange shipment and payment?
