Default What would you sell your vette for????

OK I saw what you would get if you could keep your corvette and bought a 2nd car. But if you had to sell your vette to get another car what car would you sell your vette for? ( And killing yourself is not an answer..!) :lol:

I know if I had to sell my car for another car I would go for a A/C cobra or GT-40 :cool:

I would trade straight across for a brand new black C5 coupe w/ all options. But that is the only way I would do it.

If the guy is willing to pay enough money most any car can be bought. The reason I have my present Corvette is that a doctor from South Carolina saw my Lotus Cortina on my website and asked me if it was for sale. I told him "no" and then he emailed me back and asked "If I make you an offer that you can't refuse would it be for sale"? I told him to make the offer and that was when I realized he wanted it worse than I did. I think I have a pretty nice Vette and if someone wanted to buy it right now he would have to have quite a pocket full of change.

Assuming someone was willing to pay too much for mine, a 66 or 67 convertible would do nicely!!!!!

Lotus Esprit. But I'd probably try to find a way to swing both.

Several human souls.
Yes, immortal souls are the only currency to trade a 'Vette for. :reddevil

Yes I'm kidding. I'm weird but not that weird.
I might trade mine for a restored '57. That'll never happen.

I would sell it for 11,500. That includes two engines(#'s matching and my fun engine), two transmissions (TH-400, TH-350), and two rearends (3.08 and 4.56). One of each is currently in the car. :D

This is something I've thought about.

I suppose I'd go for an engine- and transmission-less '63-'65 Chevy II if it was already converted to a V8 configuration and had an old-school straight-axle front end.

A 2,300-pound car vs. a 3,600-pound car. You do the math, man.

Eventually, after I'm done restoring & Top Flighting & driving it and using up the low mileage myself (instead of saving it for someone else!) I will sell Sophia and get a 1970 LT-1 Convertible. :D Preferably a yellow one. :D There I said it. She's probably going to be pissed at me and break something next time I drive her. :lol: ~Juliet :seeya

My relationship is too new to consider straying at this point. :bs

I had my eye on a 69 convertible, silver with black interior and factory sidepipes when I found my 72.

You better put her up for sale on the forum so one of us can buy her and make you regret selling by posting about her all the time. :D I wonder how fast Sophia would be with a Bill Mitchell big block? :confused:

Funny.... just today I was waiting for my son at the high school, and another dad pulled up in his Suburban and told me he loved my car!! I said, "Thanks! :) ".... he said, "Give me a call if you decide to sell it!" and he drove off.... I thought about it for a second, and then did a big smoky burnout and chased him down the street..... but he was too far in front of me and got away :( just kidding! not for sale!! (make me an offer! )
