Value of very rough non running 220 FWA

I can sure relate to sentimental value. My grandpa bought a new 1468 in 1974 and i remember riding in it when i was 5. Grandpa traded it in around 79 or so. My brother and I had been on the hunt for it since the early 90's or so. Well in 2002 or so we were talking to a family friend and the topic of that tractor came up. He told us he was working for the dealership where the tractor was traded in to. He said he had hauled it to a farmer that bought it in a small town 140 miles away. Well it took my brother and I many phone calls and several trips to that small town but we found the tractor and then got in touch with the owner. He said it had been parked for several years and agreed to sell it to us after we told him the story of the family heritage. We use it on our farm every once in a while so we can hear that V8 snort. It is all still original. We would not sell it for any amount of money. There have been many people that see it and stop by and want to make an offer on it.

i have the same issue with  a somewhat rare muscle car car that i have owned for 20 years, it's rare and i have been asked way to many times to sell it. i finally put it in storage, so it's out of sight. sentimental value more than anything is why i keep it, plus my wife and my mom/friends have all told me not to sell it. i don'tknow that i'll ever get around to fixing it, and i know dozens of peope who would start restoring immediately. it's one of those things, i know how the owner of he 220 feels.......... i have alway thought i'd sell it to the "right buyer" who'd do to the car , what i think is right but that's not right either to expect that from someone. so here i'am...... just trying to shed some light on the 220 owner reluctance to sell. someday when he realizes he won' do anything with it............ then maybe..... kinda like me............ good luck wth this hope it works out for someone. pete
