thinking about trading for a judge clone

[69trk]

I was wondering what you guys think about me trading my 1969 cst shortbed for this 1970 lemans clone. This car has the original 350 2bbl with power drum brakes. And the ac needs a new compressor. 10bolt with peg leg rear. I just don't know what a lemans clone is worth. He's asking 24,900 for it. I know if it was originally a gto cloned to a judge it would be worth quite a bit. If i did trade i would have to find 400 or a 455 to replace the 350, and convert to disc brakes. I would also have to get the ac working and put a moser rearend under it. I need all the advice i can get because i've always wanted a gto judge clone being i can't ever afford an original. And i've had my truck for 18years and i have alot of memories with it. And my wife won't stand for me keeping both. Also if i dump this kind of money into this gto, would it actually go up more in value than my truck?
