I have a friend who has a car I've wanted for a long time - a Plum Crazy Purple 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Convertible with a pistol grip 4 speed. Well, after all this time, he's finally priced it to me, and I'd love to buy it.
Problem is, my wife wants me to sell one of my toys before buying the Challenger. In this economy, that's probably a good idea. One toy is my '91 NSX that I originally bought in 1996 that now has 35,500 miles, has never been in the rain, and is honestly a 9.9 out of 10 car. I'm so anal about the cat that I put it on jack stands twice a year to detail the chassis.
The three others are my Pearl White '95 Supra, my fully restored '70 Chevelle and my '99 M3 Convertible.
I would love to just sell the Chevelle or the M3 Convertible to buy the Challenger, but I've only got a week to do something with him before he puts it on Ebay and possibly sells it to someone else. The Challenger honestly should bring at least $5000 more than he's priced it to me at.
He called me this morning and surprisingly to me (since he's a muscle car freak) wanted to know if I'd be willing to trade him my NSX towards the Challenger. The #s he put on both cars are quite fair to be honest.
Am I crazy to trade a pristine, low mileage NSX for this car?
Here's a rather crappy picture I took of the Challenger.
