opinions on a trade ??

I got an offer to trade my 1972 4speed vette for a 1940 plymouth with 283/ 700r4 trans. My vette needs paint and work and so does the plymouth. Pretty much an even trade, but I can't decide !! The vette is a blast to drive, but I do miss the feel and look of an old school rod. Any thoughts ??

 

coupe yes. 2 dr sedan maybe. 4 dr sedan no.

 

2 door coupe, chevy driveline, looks like an old school bracket racer.

 

sell the Vette and buy what you desire

 

need pictures.

 

pics...vette is base 350(200hp) muncie 4spd, both rebuilt with less than 500 miles.

 

trade!!!!

 

i would take the plywood.

 

tough decision, i like t-tops, but the coupe is cool [except the girly color].

 

trade x 2

 

Vettes are a dime a dozen...go for the old girl !!!...I own a 1940 Plymouth coupe and it such a cool old car to drive around in....it's a flathead six w/dual carbs and headers...not very fast but chicks dig it !!

 

I would sell the vette and buy what you really want ..

 

Even though my Dad bought a 1940 Plymouth new, I'd advise you to keep the Vette. Bob

 

Hate to be a nay sayer but the vette will be worth more in the years to come. people go gaga over them. And the 68-73 body style has been going up in value fairly steadily. But then I am not into the fatter fendered years of rods. If'n it were my stuff I would not trade. Just my $.02

 

id keep the vette

 

old is cool, but I'd definitely keep the vette.

 

Trade

 

Keep your Corvette. It is not a fair trade.

 

The plymouth should have some good upgrades,like disc brakes,diff ,wiring,etc.Steel bumper vets with 4spds are worth a few bucks.A plymouth with chevy drivetrain,no.

 

Vette

 

Is the plymouth well built?Is it rusty? , How rusty is the vette?

 

stay with the vette, put some cash into it and you'll have a more valuable car.

 

If you don't like the Vette anymore, sell it and buy what you want......

 

Bye Bye Vette.....fershure....
Cheers.....

 

If you are getting a 50-50 call on this site you probably should not make that trade bro.

 

Once the Plymouth is done you'll get more looks at the stop lights and gas pumps. I still see (and own one) a lot of early 70's Vettes, and frankly I'm not real impressed. They're wicked cool styling-wise, but they're overrated. Just my opinion. I'd trade, but it's gonna come down to what it is you're looking for and where you're at in life.

 

dodge's hard to sell...not a Chev or Ford....takes a special person....

 

Yeah- keep the Corvette. Finish what you've started, you'll get a mint for it if it's in great shape. then buy whatever the hell you want.

 

Vette got more sizzle, done right.

 

no way would I trade the 72 4 speed vette for the plymouth shown
