Hello all my name is L.J. i am a brand new member here and 33 years old. I am VERY much into classic cars thats what my dad started me on and what got me interested in cars. I had a 66 Chevy stepside since i was 14, but traded that for a 55 Chevy model 210 4door so i could take my wife and daughter along to shows etc. I still own the Chevy. I also am into g-bodies being younger i remember them well. I have owned a 80 Malibu and also an 84 Monte Carlo. My Chevy is up for sale or trade and this is what i was offered.
87 Grand National T tops. Original paint, never wrecked, no rust the guy is the second owner of the car. Sotck motor/trans never modified 87,250miles. Looks good in pics has a small tear in drivers seat. Any idea what this car is worth?
I have a 55 Chevy 210 4 door. Has a 355 small block(300 miles since rebuild), TH350 trans with shift kit, original rear with 373 gears. Power rack and pinion steering, power brakes with discs up front, Craggar SS wheels BFG tires etc etc typical hot rod stuff. Good cruiser.
I feel like im more interested in a little newer stuff as nice as my car is was considering trades for 68-72 chevelle, 78-81 Malibu Grand National etc. I was offered the 87 GN i described. Do you think its a fair trade even up or should i ask for cash on top of the GN for my 55? Tough decision because i am in PA and the GN is in KY and most likely wont be able to see car in person before hand. Owner has sent me like 90pics and car looks good in the pics. Looking for advice as im VERY interested in the GN but dont wanna make a bad deal and lose any potential money on my 55.
Sorry for the length just looking for opinions from people who know these buicks better than me. Thanks
