    I received an offer to trade cars. this guy wants to trade a 32 Victoria hiboy for my 62 Chevy.
    You all have seen the 62 before.
    If this works here is a shot of the Vicky, what do you think?

    I'm new here and haven't seen your Chevy. Is the Vicky gl*** or real steel? Finished interior, Ford or Chevy powered?

    350/350, I really do not know if it is glas or steel.
    The exhaust is under the car, one of the first I would have to change(run it through the frame.

    Interior is not fininshed, but seats are covered and the insullation is in.

    37, attached is a shot of the 62.

    What does Judy think??? That 62 is pretty comfy for her to ride in, the Vicky might not be as nice.

    I've always loved the look of the 32 vicky. More room inside (Of Course I'm tootall 6'8" tall and 265 so inside size is important seeing I'm a driver not a tow'r)

    If It trips your trigger go for it. Gl*** or steel it's a personal thing.

    How much work does it need to make it your own? Is it worth it to you.

    Bottom line is it's your call.

    <font color="green">No one can gauge the value of your car from a pic.

    Those Vickie's are cool and somewhat rare, I think? Not a FORD guy so don't beat me people.

    Anyway, I think what you ought to do is just buy that Vickie and give me the 62.

    It's a win-win!

    P.S. I vote you will be sorry if you do it. </font>

    Denise, Judy is not too keen on the trade, but she said it is my decision We will see.
    She is going to be able to feel comfy in the new 1947 Ford Coupe I stole from Roothawg.

    The 32 is not going to be too hard to make mine, just headliner, exhaust and carpets.
    Maybe a little color sanding and buffing.

    I didn't mention, but I would be getting some cash with the trade, enough to make the few changes i think I need.

    If your 62 was a belair, I'd say "No way!" If it's a fairly fresh vicky [no doubt a Gl*** body] I'd road test it. If it drove out ok, I'd hafta go for it.
    Then again, I know you're no longer a spring chicken and a big 'ol comfy impala would prolly be easier on those bones after a long trip.....like all the way to the Hamb Drags from Webb City...

    Rocky, you silver tongued devil.
    You do have a way with words.
    No doubt, the room is considerable less in the Ford(?) [​IMG]

    Jim, I guess I've missed seeing your '62 before. It looks like sweet one. If you were to sell the '62 how much would it take to get you to part with it? Now, How much would you be willing to give for the Vicky? Is he willing to cough up the difference? In the end It's your call (and the wife) [​IMG]

    Rashey, that is an angle I had ont thought about.
    Crease, Mutley, you make a strong statement for keeping the Impala.

     
  18. Keep the Chevy.

    Well...obviously you like the car to have even considered it this much, Vickys are cool and it never hurts to move on to another project. You can put your own personal touches on it like you did the Chevy, like getting rid of that paint job for starters.

    If he really wants to trade, tell him I'll reade him mine, and he can keep his cash difference. I'm not hard to get along with [​IMG]

    go for the gusto...go for something different. I would consider the cash value, if you get the "Vic" paint it the way you like, re-flame it and run!!!

    I know for a fact.If you have to ask what others think,then don't do it.You have to be real excited and know in your heart it's right.I just went through this and I have no regrets.I knew right from the start that it was the right thing to do.You should know this already.

    <font color="green">Haven't you left out the part about the Chevy having a 409 in it?

    Or did I dream that whilst I was ****** your 62 in my sleep?

    Did I just type that out loud? [​IMG] </font>

    I'd have to keep to 62 myself. Short of a major cash infusion, I can't see the Vicky ever being as "right" as your 62 already is.
