Lately, Adam and I have been asking each other what we would sell our cars for. For example, he would sell his car for a '97 Cobra he found for sale (assuming he was on a limited budget, obviously).

I would sell the '90 for a Terminator.

What would you sell your current favorite vehicle/toy in your garage for?

A 70 Hemi or AAR Cuda, or the GT500 limited red edition that looks just like mine.

my car, nothing
my truck, I couldn't let my first vehicle go, I really couldn't, way too much sentimental value.
My sled on the other hand, well any sort of polaris IQ, IQR, or a Rush

Man some days I'd sell all my junk for a pack of smokes and a six pack. But really this is a good questions, I don't know, I all ready have two houses that I'd Like to burn down and collect. That would total $500.000 depending on the market, Then I could go buy pretty much what ever car I wanted to , and that car would piss me off to no end, but that is my luck

but which of your awesome cars would you sell to get it??

Right now, not too much. Pretty much everything would be 5 times or more the value of my car. So like a DB9, or a full pro touring 69 Trans Am.

I'm betting though come fall my answer would be much different.

It might be a high price, but it's never been modded and has low miles 34,000, has two sets of rims tires and two trunk, stock STi and a wingless trunk.

If I knew it would save Avelio and cure his cancer I would sell Christine in a New York minute.

I'd give my 66 fastback, my 92 lx vert, and my left nut, for a Superformance MKI GT40 done to my liking. I got to drive a real MKI GT40 once and I want one sooo fakin bad now I'd settle for a good replica.

I love my car more than Kelley Blue Book ever could. So, I'm thinking I would need something twice what I paid. Maybe something faster with imported leather. I'm on board with the F430, but that's probably unrealistic for a trade-off. So, maybe a GT500 with a TVS swap.

Amen to that brother!!
I have been fortunate to own almost every type of cool musclecar once, whether they were rough, restored or somewhere in between. Bosses, 440-6 cars, Camaros, chevelles, GS Stage 1, 442's, Cobras, etc.
I can safely say that only saving a family member could get me to part with my Talladega. It isn't that great from an outsider standpoint, but the history we have is irreplaceable. EVERY time I drive it I think of my Daughters blonde hair blowing in the wind, taking them for the first ride after buying it in 1985 and getting it to run.Then there was having to sell it because of going broke, following it and getting it back in 2000, ever changing it for the next thing I want to do with it, etc. My wife and kids think of it AS family! It is my escape from getting older. Then there is my other dear old friend-the aqua car. That's a whole other story!!

I'm sure more of us would do the same if it would help.

Since we are being somewhat realistic, I'd say a C6 Z06... since things are starting to look like that will be my next car. Not sure if I can do it because I'm not really sure I want to be grouped in with the vett people.

If we are just saying dream stuff and money was no object, then an enzo or an F40 (grew up loving that car).

one car, well one car but four different designations - Porsche 911 (or 996 depending if you want to get exact) but in rs/gt2/gt3/ruf trim

A mint restored 64 442. Or like usual, when the Automotive A.D.D. kicks in and I buy something else before the current project is done.:rolf

Nothing. There are plenty of cars that are cooler and faster but none that I can drive every day and remind me of the car i wanted since I was 5.

So no cars, but if someone would be dumb enough to trade for a log cabin home on a lake, I'd be listening. :D

Hrmm... I'd sell the Mach for...

1997 911 C4S Widebody (Factory Aero Kit)
1997 and older 911 Turbo 4
1995 928 GTS
Volvo S60R

Manual Transmissions would be Manditory

Yeah, if I were looking for something to replace it... Those would be my choices...
