Keep the car.

76liftedshortie · 12-18-2006, 10:34 AM

keep it....the car is worth at least 5,000 as it sits

67ChevyRedneck · 12-18-2006, 10:55 AM

Keep the car and finish it

motocrosschump · 12-18-2006, 04:03 PM

Ummmm..I am going against the grain. Keep the car.

72step · 12-18-2006, 04:23 PM

If the truck was a 67-72 Cheyenne/CST, maybe. Not for a 79. Plus with the values of 60's muscle cars, it would be a mistake. Shoot, if you do the car right as a nice clone you could probably get over 20k for a frame off. If you just do it up non frame up, just nice and clean it will still fetch over15k. A friend of mine just picked up a 67 Chevelle for 14k, and it needs some work. You'll never get that for that truck.

Keep the car, I luv trucks, but that car is sweet, just my opinion I could be wrong...

Keep the car!!!! Find a truck put a 502 in it. That car is hard to come by.

Kurt L · 12-18-2006, 08:13 PM

if ya look at the poll it's kinda obvious what we all think.
SO KEEP THE CAR.

bowtiehotrodder · 12-18-2006, 09:52 PM

well let me ask a question. the car is a good car but it needs all the inter. and 90% all new chrome. and i wont have the money to fix it i will end up ebaying it . and the truck is done under the hood and the it has new fender and doors and the bed is sand blasted it wont take much to finshed

The answer is still NO! Sit on the car and squirrel away money. Do the interior first, they cost the most money, and its work that 99 of us cant do ourselves. If you have the space, time and inclination, do like I do. Buy and resell things. I make GOOD money at times. Rule #1. Never pay for your toys with your own money. Rule #2, Buy and sell things, use the profit to pay for your toys. Who cares about chrome? repaint the car with some more primer, strap some lawn chairs to some 2x4's and run it!

Hell, trade or sell your truck to fund the Chevelle if you get that despeate.
