I also would encourage you to sleep on it a little while before selling it. 23 years is a long time and a 65 GTO is a special car. Even if you can't do all the things you would like to do yourself on the car now there may be options. I am 68 now. I have a growing group of people with old collector cars coming to me for help with various repairs on their cars that they can't do themselves anymore. Next week I am rebuilding a tri-power on a 66 GTO for a guy who would have done it himself 5 years ago. I work slow and careful and let the owner of the car help if they like. It's a win, win situation for everyone. I can't be the only one out there helping older guys keep these cars running nice and able to hang on to their cars longer if they wish. You might want to seek out something like this in your area. Trying to do more difficult work you can't do anymore can be frustrating. Taking a classic car to a regular production shop with non-caring mechanics who don't really know what they are working on can be worse. Taking your car to a commercial classic car repair shop often assumes the owner is some kind of multi-millionaire. I feel your pain. Just something to consider. Good luck with whatever you decide.
