Which is tougher, in your opinion. Friend and I have an (almost) built 1970 Dodge Monaco wagon and he was offered a straight-up trade for a 1973 Oldsmobile "no post" 88. (I think?)
We have money and time invested in the wagon and it looks mean, but we don't want to trade to end up getting a worse car or involving MORE work.

THE OLDS IS MY CHOICE BY FAR... HAS THE RAILROAD TRACK FRONT BUMPER, AND IS A MUCH BETTER NOSER THAN A 70 MONACO Y-FRAMER WITH TINFOIL FRONT BUMPER. THE REARS OF THOSE WAGONS HAVE A TERRIBLE TENDENCY TO BLOW APRT AT THE SEAMS, THEN DUMP TO THE GROUND. SURE, THE OLDS CLIP WITH PLASTIC FENDERWELLS ISNT AS NICE AS A CHEVY CLIP, BUT FOR A STRAIGHT UP 2 CAR DERBY, THAT OLDS IS GONNA SLAUGHTER THE MONACO........

I love Mopars, but the Old Iron GM will win any day |
