Hello everyone, wanted ask for some advise, I got a 95 MB C36 AMG,very rare car and fast at that nice looking euro car that it was my wife's now its mine, anyways I don't want it so I got his guy locally wanting to trade 2 cars for it my car is worth around 6300, his is a 53 chevy with a 71 corvette and ******, nice looking car but needs a hood, grill, bumpers and an exhaust system, I haven't seen it, its a hike to go and see it so wanted to get some input, the other car is a 47 running but it needs alot of body work, well heres some pics of the cars please get back to me with some suggestions thanks.. My car
I would trade sell the 48 to buy the rest of the parts for the 53 and UN-ratrod it.. thats just my opinion
the Chevys are worth about $700 or $800 each the '53 has been butchered, I'd avoid it. but from the picture the '47 might be worth saving I have no idea what the red car is worth.
$800 is pretty low-ball for those two cars. Not so much on the '53, it looks like it's liable to be a hack job, but the '47 unless it's all filler on the bottom looks a lot better than a parts car. What steering wheel is in it? A decent factory spinner wheel is worth $2500 all by itself; a ****py one $500-$1000. I see it has the fancy wings for the bumpers, so you never know. That said, I wouldn't swap unless he was going to give you both cars and like $2000 in cash, no way either one is an even swap, I wouldn't even say both of them together would be even.
thanks ... yeah thats what I was thinking about, they seem like alot of work that I'm not ready to do... thanks again.. to all
Make the trade! The 47 is worth it's wieght to the lowrider guys if you want to make money on it, it will sell in a heart beat. If you are into customs, the 53 can make a pretty cool car. The parts for the 53 are not hard to find, you can probably find all you need here in a day.
yeah I must be spoiled, but I wouldn't pay any more than that to sell what you have and then go hunting for what you really want makes good sense
What do you want? Hard to find a guy who has one or two old cars to trade for your foreign car. If these are not what you want, do what Dirtbag said, sell yours and buy what you want. But what you gonna buy for $6K? OTOH Bubba is right about the '47. Me, I would trade, find a hood and put exhaust on the '53, sell it and keep the '47. Edited to add: ***uming he has ***les for those cars..........
