Thanks, guys... must not be so funny as I already had one guy from VMF interested in trading a '69 SCJ Mach 1. Also had a guy wanting to trade for a '66 VETTE (cough) convertible. Note : I never said trade EVEN...

Perhaps I could trade for something really valuable like a Nissan Z or a Dodge motorhome??

It's just... well, 31 grand is the asking price...

I usually see Boss 302 cars go for a LOT more than that. I'd gladly pay out for it though, if I had the cash. I forgot to mention it is a very nice replica.

EDIT: Maybe it's a regional thing? The special ones like those probably go for more in stupid California than most other places.

all is well .. just a miss stoodundering of terms .. mike knows very well the value of what he wishes to " trade " for .. .. the cobra is a steal at 31 grand .. he`s not asking for a 80 thousand $ finished barret jackson car as even trade .. ..

You're right, Hoss. Prices on Boss 302s have even started to come down some - there have been a few nice driver ones on EBay recently for high 30's. I really want a Pantera but wouldn't mind a nice '69 Boss 302 to match my '70.

And men think women are bad because they need a pair of shoes to match their dress.

Also awaiting pics of your new toy. Any prodding by the forumn isn't serious until they cough up single malt scotch onto the screen...then it's personal.

The guy who bought it was from Richmond, Va. Said he had a '69 CJ Mach 1 the same color, so he wanted a matching set.
