Trading just for fun how far will it go...Heres mine..Lets see yours!

i have my shoebox project listed on here id love to trade it away if i could find someone whod trade me a 73- 78 vette id probably jump on it though they arent my favorites id prefer a 68-72 but you gotta start somplace i guess

but im not just wanting to trade for a vette id trade for alot of things between 55-72

 

Trading is the name of the game.
I like to trade up a few times then cash out.
It generally only works if you don't get attached.

 

I traded this 1959 covertable "D" Roadster for $12.500.00 That was 30 years ago. What is it worth today Dumb asssssssss.

 

Traded a 74 Super Beetle for a '64 Galaxie.

 

Ive found that once the trade was initiated, whatever I got I could never cash out, always had to keep trading, or wait a long time to sell.
Y block 3 speed, flywheel and bellhousing for a clappedout 70 Mach one-did ok. there. Longest running, 55 Studebaker coupe for a 55 Morris Minor Woody gasser, traded the morris for a 55 Pontiac 2Dooor Hardtop, traded the Pontiac for a 69 Buick GS, traded the Buick for a 60 GMC Shortbed with a 389, traded the Gmc For a chevy Beretta, traded the berretta for a 70 Pontiac LeMans with a 400, sold the Lemans.

 

'74???? Maybe '70-'73, but the '74 got a low HP engine and the extra plastic extensions to the body at both ends. They're way uglier than the '70-'73 Vettes, and much less demand.

 

I been thinking of maybe trading my 64 plymouth strip car for a more friendly street car, but not sure what I would trade it for. Been interested in 64 pontiacs lately. The car is a roller right now but I do have a zero mile nicely built 440 and 727 sitting there also. The car can be street diven although it has a 430:1 rear.

 

Big blocks were available in 74 along with roadster option. Maybe not the best look vette.But the original split (2 piece) bumpers still around after the GM recall can can make a 74 very collectable....

 

I'm looking for an 47-54 Suburban or cool 4 door wagon if anyone is wanting a badass bomb! My family is growing!

 

74 is also the last true dual exhaust corvette. That makes it more desirable than 75+ cars

 

I once traded a 600 Holley for a golden lab puppy. The kids were excited!

 

I got a 49 Buick for my wife. Best trade I ever made...

 

I traded my 1936 Pontiac deluxe 8 to you for the 1949 f1. I have seen the Pontiac has made it's way to another. I am not saying the truck will stay with me for ever but it all starts with a car and a handshake. I added the visor.

 

My girlfriend is attempting something similar, but started with a $1 Tonka truck from the thrift store. It's going really well, pretty confident she'll have a real car by summer time.

I traded my '70 Cutlass convertible project for my '47 Olds coupe. My heart just wasn't into finishing the Cutlass anymore and I wanted that coupe bad, it worked out great for everyone. Trades can be fun.

 

Well what did you end up with?

 

I love trading its the best! I am pretty good at it! That being said. Someone offer me a trade on my 58 Edsel.

 

I traded this 58 Ford convertible: For this 35 Dodge truck with a fellow hamber. We each think we cheated the other so I guess it was a fair deal.

 

I wonder if they would add a "Trade Them Here" or "Barter" section in the Classifieds?

That would rock.

I'd have kept the Ford shoebox.

 

I'd think somebody would want to trade their uncool '50s four-door for my two-door Falcons, but I'm not getting much interest yet!

 

Looks like the trade on the 80 vette is going to be a winner... I put an add on craigslist to trade for pumbing in our new home/shop this spring ..Turns out plumbers like cheap Corvettes...unbeleivable response..

 

You should make this your new avatar!

 

I think trading is the way to go if you can find the right trade.
I have a 64, 4 speed real deal 409 Impala with 51K orignal miles, numbers matching, silver with red interior. I would like to trade for a 32 Ford.
Any offers?

 

I have 3... The keeper.. The project.. And the trader.. I've traded about 7 times over now. I enjoy the hunt & driving new old cars.. Trading let's me get the experience of working on/driving different eras & types of cars.

 

just traded my caddy for a 57 tube chassis gasser to race my dad and his 57 gasser.

 

Ok so I changed my mind and decided to do my own plumbing..But I advanced again traded the Vette for this decent 1968 Ford convert...390 fe automatic...if I cant trade it .Grandma's gonna be drivin a boat without a top this summer.....

 

Kelly..........PM me the plumbers ph #

No phone calls, The ole lady is sleeping. Thanks

 

My neighbor is into the trading, last year he lost his ass on some trades. He doesn't know shit about cars. But this year he traded a bumper pull rv that was worth about 6k for a 03 soft tail, then he traded that for a fully built (in the 90's) 64 Malibu. The 64 was relay clean and well built, but it looked like Boyd did it. Then one day someone brought over a gangster mobile h2 and he did the deal on that. I couldn't tell you what the things worth, nor do I care, but he thinks he is cooler than shit in it.


I always feel bummed when I let something go, so I don't anymore.

 

I remember in boy scout camp ,a young fellow started with a pocket knife and ended with a boat ,motor and a trailer .

 

Just picked up a money maker OT mustang 5.0 on the cheap from a guy moving that didn't have a means to take it with him. Hoping to turn this car into something more on topic for the wife to cruse in this summer. I've had decent luck with my trades in the past but things have been pretty dry here the last year or so.
