You have some beautiful country up there in Canada. I particularly love mountains!
Since the car is going to a better home in terms of being able to fully restore it, then that makes it easier to let them go. In a couple months, it won't be missed so much. It was a very nice looking formal though, in nice colors - probably my favorite Formal model. I sold one of my triple white 1973 Imperial coupes to the Netherlands a few years ago, and that person also put a lot of love into that car - he was motivated (I still have one triple white one left with 34K miles on it that looked identical, so that helped in letting the other one go).
I recently let my 1971 sunroof Imperial 2 door go to a deserving chap in Australia who is a member of this site as well, and he is doing a really excellent restoration of the car, something that I had to admit I would probably never get to given the other cars on my list. He is doing an incredible job on the car and I am very pleased with his progress in a very short period of time. He might even post some photos of it when he is done. But I get to see firsthand all that he doing, and doing at an excellent level. Couldn't be more pleased! And he knows all the details of restoring the sunroofs on these cars too. Super guy.
I think you did the right thing given your situation.
