Would you trade / whats it worth?

I had a guy contact me about swapping my G***er for this 37 Fiat .Its a steel body with a gl*** front,hot fresh solid cammed 327 ,T-350 ,and 9 inch with 4.11's.It runs 12.40's and is a street legal car that he got on trade and cant fit in it to drive comfortably .He approached me about the trading for my Ranchero G***er and he seems legit on the phone.I realize the car needs some changes badly like cooler wheels and the paint is not my thing ,nor is the anodized air cleaner and valve covers ,but these things are easy to change.He says it has a drop axle and drives great ,tagged ,the works.Would you trade and whats it worth ? I know very little about import rods ,but i like the looks of Fiats ,Bantams and Anglias.Only constructive critisizm please and thanks for your help.Im having hell trying to get the photos he emailed me put on the thread ,but im trying...

 

We'll wait for the pics but if it were me and the Fiat is good I'd be more than willing to trade my 55 for it and just add a tunnelram to the 327. If you fit into the Fiat and like the way it is or the way you can make it yours then go for it.You have to be the one to be happy with your decision. Good luck

 

if he can't fit a fiat in his driveway...hows he gonna fit a 55?

 

I would do the trade, that steel Fiat body is worth more than 3 running Rancheros.

 

"cant fit in it to drive comfortably "

 

reread it, he can't fit in it

 

Can someone tell me how to change pics from "Bmp" to "Jpg" ? Im having a fit trying to down size them.Normally when take pics with my camera they come out in the "Jpg" format...

 

your printer should have a program to change them ... thx .. steve

 

You just lost me.If i forward the email to someone could they post them for me please ?

 

send them to me....Ranchero's rule.....

 

Thanks buddy i sent you my email address ...

 

Dinky pics but it could be cool with some cosmetics!

 

Let me try again on the pics.

 

Now i got them switched to "jpg" but i cant seem to post but one per reply ...

 

in a heartbeat. PM me if you want to sell the Fiat.

 

I wonder if it gets unwanted attention from the cops.

It looks like i am gunna have a road trip to Miss .Thanks for the advise.You can see how big the guy is in this pic.He said he is 6'4 and 250.I am 6'1 and 215 maybe i can fit a little better or go on a crash diet ...

 

Be prepared for the "Are you gonna wear your Fiat?" jokes.

And here's a nice logo:

i think id trade....

oh wait,,,,, it has an auto in it......
you cant trade for that...... lol lol....

check out this one.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=237696&highlight=little+john+fiat ......

 

Ya , i think i will .I can always change it to the mandatory 4 spd. later on .I think with a different paint scheme and some 12 spokes on the front and polished slots on the back it would look killer.Now if the guy dont turn out to be a flake ,im good to go.He sounded legit when he called about it yesterday ,but he wouldnt be the first person to pull a disappearing act on me ...

 

I'd trade for that in a heart beat.

 

Any questions?

 

Make the trade. Like you said new paint job, 12 spokes on the front with a smaller tire will look great. Maybe lose the spare tire? Other than that the car looks nicely built.

 

Hope it turns out to be a good trade for you. It'll be ***s when you get it the way you want it.Go for it.

 

looks like a good trade to me, hope it works out!!!!

 

I love fiats, and will never own one, they're too small for me to drive (6'5"). Make sure you fit, no matter how cool it is, it ain't cool sittin' in the garage or on a trailer. I'm not a big ranchero fan, but something you can drive is always better than a trailer gueen. But that fiat really is ***s if you fit.

 

i digs the fiat

 

Are you talking for the street, or for the strip?
The body is worth a buck or two, but IMO they are a drag car, or just a novelty...
Your gonna get the "cute dune-buggy" thing alot...

The Ranchero might have been seen on the Boulevard, or at the track...
I think by the time the Thames/Anglia/Fiat/Morris thing happened, it was just the rules being bent as far as they would possibly flex, I don't think too many folks were driving them on the street. At that point, it was just finding the most advantageous platform, even if it was a silly-looking one.

I'd keep the Ranchero, if it was just for a driver.
