Re: Looking for 57 Belair - trade 69 Camaro
Again Lee, "A great car". I would be careful and drive it. I know trailer queens are NOT for me so no matter what I had I would be destined to drive it. Hey, its only money a little sheetmetal and some paint! Drive it, its a great car!

Re: Looking for 57 Belair - trade 69 Camaro
Sam:
You're probably right...I should just drive the thing....but man, its hard to bring yourself to drive a car that is done "factory perfect" underneath with all the right marks/dabs, and smuges... Something to think about for sure...

Re: Looking for 57 Belair - trade 69 Camaro
Drive it! The original owner drove it when he picked it up. I bet if you drive that car on occasion Lee you will NEVER part with it. Over the winter you can jack it up and clean the undercarriage off from the road dust. It ill give you something to do. Anyhow it may kill you after you sell it and you see the next owner driving it a little like you should have done! JMO Lee.
 Just to nice a car to sell because you want something to drive. Marlin drives his Deuce!!

Re: Looking for 57 Belair - trade 69 Camaro
This sounds like a Marlin vs. Phil Borris conversation!
Just drive it, a little dust won't kill it. It will deteriorate whether it's sitting in a cocoon, or cruising down the road - which option is more fun??

Re: Looking for 57 Belair - trade 69 Camaro
You are out numbered Lee. Besides if you do sell the car and get a 57 Chevy I guess you will skimp and cut corners on the quality of the resto just so you can drive it and not feel bad??!!
 Doubt it. These cars are made to be driven whether a ZL-1 or just an old 69 Z/28.

Re: Looking for 57 Belair - trade 69 Camaro
Lee, keep the Camaro or sell it out right then go look for the next car. I have traded a couple of cars in the recent past and I regretted it both times. I can tell you from my experience that I would drive the trailer queen because whatever you buy, you will end up making improvements anyways. Once you have been exposed to having a car of this caliber it is hard to go backwards.
