Should I trade my truck for this? Thoughts and opinions wanted..

[Davidmichael]

If you can build another truck, then go ahead if you like the clone more. Either way you are still good IMO.

glad I could make you laugh.



You know.... I did post it to make people laugh... but in all reality I would have a problem with anyone messing with any of my vehicles.... and to tell you the truth...I think you are the one with the big internet ego.....

I would make the trade if the Pontiac wasn't a pig covered in lipstick. I love my truck, but it would be really easy to replace if I wanted another.

I'm with you, spudz. You don't mess with a man's stuff.

He suggested that the "new owner" pop the badgs off, not some stranger.

Geeze, lighten up.

no he said that he saw someone pop the badges off a clone someone was trying to pass off as the real deal.

Settle down kids, stay on topic. Topic being..... should the OP trade his truck or not.

[Don SC]

I chime in on the no side. Parts wont be easy to come by within a few years.

All depends on what you want. In the end, that's what matters. A true 68 Lemans with great paint, 350, Muncie M21 4 speed and all original options etc. can get up to 10 - 12k. A GTO of the same gets 25 - 35k. My first CAR was a 68 Lemans. 350 , muncie m21, hurst linkage , green with factory white vinyl top. I kick my self often for letting it go. Same with the 66 GTO, 62 Grand Prix, 66 Pony Mustang.......Who knew??? Just be darn sure you know what you are buying. The GTO garb on a Lemans doesn't help it at all.

if you do please do everyone a favor and take the gto badges off, nobody likes a poser


My bad I forgot to add STOPCALLING it a gto it's a lemans a base model lemans you wouldn't some hum drum 318 mopar a superbird, so don't call a grocery getter a gto, gaah !!!!!! /rant lol


Plus it will be worth more as a lemans anyway

Who cares if it is a base model Lemans. There is a huge market out there for cloned cars because jerk offs who have more money than brains have went to Barret Jackson sales and ran the prices of these cars so far up it isn't even funny. The OP I'm sure has a good idea of what he is doing and was just looking for some ideas/support I'm sure.

To the first part of your statement: I tell you what. I deal with corvette guys all the time because of my car. If anyone of those aholes did anything to my ride because they didn't like it, it wouldn't be pretty. Either respect each man's property or shut your mouth, leave it alone and just go away.

[WestButteTruck]

^^ Actually, I'd like to see that corvette!

Back on subject, I'd trade if the car was in good shape.

You have another GTO and you are familiar with Pontiac so you know what you are getting yourself into and know what to look for.

I would do it just because it is a clone. It's no fun having a rare muscle car you are afraid will get damaged or have to worry about busting a matching numbers engine or trans every time you play around with it.

As a clone you can have the look of the GTO you want but don't have to worry about losing much of the value of the car if you throw a rod through the side of the block or you grenade the trans. Plus it wouldn't be a crime to give it some modern upgrades to the brakes & suspension.

I would go for it. As was stated earlier, 68 A-body Pontiac's are not easy to find be it a LeMans or GTO but square bodies are everywhere. It would be easy to build another truck just like you have now if you choose to do so.

x2 Its a GTO with some $$ sense. Do you know how many fords are running around with chevy small blocks? nobody says anything about that. I'd get it. I like old mustangs myself and if I found a GOOD boss clone like this lemans, I'd jump on it. I REALLY like my truck but nothings been quite like driving the mustang around...

[muthstryker]

Well guys, decided to keep the truck. I dont think im quite ready to let it go yet, still have alot of plans for it. Figure my REAL GTO will keep me entertained with a muscle car.

[Curly86]

I agree keep the truck

[lakeroadster]

Sweet... good call!

[82swampthing]

trade if it were me the second that guy said he would trade a lemans/gto for my truck I'd heres the keys it all yours.

Keep your truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FRENCHBLUE72]

I would have passed also seein as you have one your workin on already.

[camshaftgsxr]

Both are prime candidates for lsx swaps anyways...

[f.monroe]

It just depends on what you want . If I was to do te trade I would get personalized plates that say CLONE or NOTAGTO or something if you just want everyone to know its real identity. It is a good looking car and the truck is nice . One thing to remember is that you are asking a bunch of truck guys "Should I keep the truck or trade for the car?"
Which one do you like and which one is worth more? If you really like the truck but the car is worth much more , then I would trade it , sell the car , use the money to build a better square.
