So, this guy calls and wants to trade cars,

[JimC]

I received an offer to trade cars. this guy wants to trade a 32 Victoria hiboy for my 62 Chevy.
You all have seen the 62 before.
If this works here is a shot of the Vicky, what do you think?

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">HHHHmmmmmmm,

We need more info.

Is it steel, glass?

What size 350/350 combo is in it? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Any other shots?

Vickies aqre cool but that 62 you have is PURRFECT!

RASHY </font>

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Is that the exhaust running down the side of the car? </font>

[The37Kid]

I'm new here and haven't seen your Chevy. Is the Vicky glass or real steel? Finished interior, Ford or Chevy powered?

Looks cool Jim- BUT I dont like the frt crossmember clearance myself.........Paint might be a point of differences in opinions. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifHell I dont care its your bussiness!

[JimC]

350/350, I really do not know if it is glas or steel.
The exhaust is under the car, one of the first I would have to change(run it through the frame.

Interior is not fininshed, but seats are covered and the insullation is in.

37, attached is a shot of the 62.

[hotrodladycrusr]

What does Judy think??? That 62 is pretty comfy for her to ride in, the Vicky might not be as nice.

[tootallrodder]

I've always loved the look of the 32 vicky. More room inside (Of Course I'm tootall 6'8" tall and 265 so inside size is important seeing I'm a driver not a tow'r)

If It trips your trigger go for it. Glass or steel it's a personal thing.

How much work does it need to make it your own? Is it worth it to you.

Bottom line is it's your call.

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">No one can gauge the value of your car from a pic.

Those Vickie's are cool and somewhat rare, I think? Not a FORD guy so don't beat me people.

Anyway, I think what you ought to do is just buy that Vickie and give me the 62.

It's a win-win!

RASHY

P.S. I vote you will be sorry if you do it. </font>

[JimC]

Denise, Judy is not too keen on the trade, but she said it is my decision We will see.
She is going to be able to feel comfy in the new 1947 Ford Coupe I stole from Roothawg.

The 32 is not going to be too hard to make mine, just headliner, exhaust and carpets.
Maybe a little color sanding and buffing.

I didn't mention, but I would be getting some cash with the trade, enough to make the few changes i think I need.

[Rocky]

If your 62 was a belair, I'd say "No way!" If it's a fairly fresh vicky [no doubt a Glass body] I'd road test it. If it drove out ok, I'd hafta go for it.
Then again, I know you're no longer a spring chicken and a big 'ol comfy impala would prolly be easier on those bones after a long trip.....like all the way to the Hamb Drags from Webb City...

[Crease]

Only if it's steel and the wife wont divorce you.

[Muttley]

Vicki=cool http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Flames, exhaust and tires=not so cool http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Tires and exhaust= easy to change http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Flames=not so easy to change http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

'62=BAAAADDDDAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

DONT DO IT!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[JimC]

Rocky, you silver tongued devil.
You do have a way with words.
No doubt, the room is considerable less in the Ford(?) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[fab32]

Jim, I guess I've missed seeing your '62 before. It looks like sweet one. If you were to sell the '62 how much would it take to get you to part with it? Now, How much would you be willing to give for the Vicky? Is he willing to cough up the difference? In the end It's your call (and the wife) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Rashey, that is an angle I had ont thought about.
Crease, Mutley, you make a strong statement for keeping the Impala.

[roadstar]

Keep the Chevy.

[RotHod]

Well...obviously you like the car to have even considered it this much, Vickys are cool and it never hurts to move on to another project. You can put your own personal touches on it like you did the Chevy, like getting rid of that paint job for starters.

[Fifty5C-Gas]

if its a real steel car, do it..vickys are cool as hell.

[Jkustom]

Impala....

but the 32 could be pretty cool.

But yeah, I vote keep the chevy.

[daign]

Chevy.

[mr57]

If he really wants to trade, tell him I'll reade him mine, and he can keep his cash difference. I'm not hard to get along with http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Chopped50Ford]

go for the gusto...go for something different. I would consider the cash value, if you get the "Vic" paint it the way you like, re-flame it and run!!!

[sedan_dad]

I know for a fact.If you have to ask what others think,then don't do it.You have to be real excited and know in your heart it's right.I just went through this and I have no regrets.I knew right from the start that it was the right thing to do.You should know this already.

HMmmmmm,

Does anybody make a glass Vicky?

Definitely gotta change the tires/stance.

You will be in the windshield everytime you tap the brakes.

[tinyelvis]

Keep the Chevy.. cuz yer gonna have to put money into that 32 to get rid of those stupid wheels/tires..

I like your Chev a lot.. not many of those running around.. keep it! Just my .02 though! Do what makes YOU happy that's all that matters.

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Haven't you left out the part about the Chevy having a 409 in it?

Or did I dream that whilst I was RAPING your 62 in my sleep?

Did I just type that out loud? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif </font>

[Ayers Garage]

I'd have to keep to 62 myself. Short of a major cash infusion, I can't see the Vicky ever being as "right" as your 62 already is.

[Action Girl]

Keep your car... no question.

That pick reminds me of my last physical! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Anyway, that does not appear to be a 409, so what is it?

I know you told me but I was either drunk or got drunk soon after.

RASHY </font>

[beatnik]

Jim it be hard for anyone to say with out seeing the Vicky up close, but I have seen your car and It's one of the cleanest and straightest cars around, it be pretty big untertaking to duplicate what you have, if you ever wanted another one.

[Django]

Didn't you have the Impala listed for Sale awhile back? I agree,more investigation is needed, but if you're getting cash too and want something different, you may come out ok.

[Flatdog]

No brainer if it glass.Keep the chevy.

[G V Gordon]

Jim,
Might as well throw my two cents in. I have never been a big fan of 60-64 Chevys. That may be because that is what all the rich kids drove when I was in high school, I had to drive a 51 Ford tudor,(sure, it's cool NOW). http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
But your Chevy is about as perfect as that year chevy can get, and Rashy is right, a picture doesn't do it justice.
Vickies are one of my all time favorite rod body styles, but I am not sure if it was me I would trade, guess it would depend on the cash difference. I also know a car gets to the point that you no longer have anything to change or "finish" and you have an itch to start the next one.
Hell, I don't know, do what you want. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

yes, Nick32Vic picked one up, but I dont know where from

[Kerry]

IMO keep your Chevy.

[JimC]

Rashy, it is just one of those loly small bock Chevy's
.030 over,Crane .484 ;ift.224 duration both ex and int.
Hyperneutic flat top pistons, 750 cfm Carter afb.

Trans is 350 with manual shift body, 2300 stall 'verter.
Seen one, seen em all.

[Flipper]

Does the vicky have an IFS?

There are an awful lot of shadows under the front.

If is is IFS, keep the chevy. If the front end is more traditional, I'd park at my house.

[Fast Elvis]

JimC......the 62 is a keeper for sure!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.......can't beat the look of that chevy and it's got a trunk!!

Very well put.

[straykatkustoms]

I love fenderless 32 sedans! I would have done some things different, and would change some things but I like the car. I'm afraid your not going to be happy with the room and the ride. Since your working on a your other project I would keep your '62 to have some variety. What would happen to your saying; Billy G, Troy &amp; Me?

If you decide to make the trade I would like to have a ride.

Below is a picture from the Stray Kat 500.

Happy Trails,

Mick
