The week before the move to Tucson, I sold my '69 Jag by auction at BringATrailer.com for a new record on the site of $90K. It was picked up for shipping to its new owner in CA just 2 days before we left. 






The house beautifully withstood mothballing for 8 months. Every food item had been put into the chest freezer and the kitchen fridge/freezer was turned off. The food was stored so well, that we had an 8 mo old  bagel the next day and it was quite fresh.
