Is this a good deal? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My dad is getting ready to put a 700R4 in my truck and said he has my factory Powerglide sold for $400. The trans. has no leaks and works beautifully and he wanted me to check with you guys and see if that's a good deal. I think it is but was curious. Thanks for your input.

I think that`s a great price.

take the money and run

wibilly · 01-22-2008, 10:20 AM

i agree great deal let me know if that guy wants any more for the same money

jkaylor68gmc · 01-22-2008, 10:23 AM

I agree.

mvfd70 · 01-22-2008, 10:39 AM

$400 for a powerglide?? I need to go swipe the one my father in law has. I didn't know they were worth that much

Take the money, and run....

468BIGBLOCK · 01-22-2008, 10:58 AM

this is a GREAT DEAL for you, a HORRIBLE DEAL for the other guy!!!

PanelDeland · 01-22-2008, 11:48 AM

My honest opinion of the PG is it's a PiG,The only thing they really seem to be good for these days is a dedicated restoration or the dragstrip.And the dragstrip is a limited kinda deal since there are aftermarket cases that are much better.I say take the $$ and run.

Tell the buyer if he needs more than one I'll sell him all 3 of mine! I'll even let mine go for $350/ea!!

Man, you guys are rough on the powerglides. But I have to agree, $400 bucks is a good price, the problem with needing to find a power glide is most of them have disapeared from the wrecking yards.

jsbgump · 01-22-2008, 02:59 PM

Run with the cash

dave2953 · 01-22-2008, 11:04 PM

Thanks for all the replies. I emailed him last night and told him. I was pretty sure it was a great deal, (for us) but I thought I'd check with you all to be certain.
