Classic/Antique Car Repair: Rambler vs. Corvair, corvair monza, chevrolet model
QuestionBrad,
I own a 1962 Rambler American 400 convertible and at a car show was approached by another car owner who proposed a trade of my Rambler for one of his 2 1965 Corvair Monza convertibles. He stated he wanted it because there aren't many Ramblers around. Assuming each car is equal in condition, which car has the greater value? Would you make the trade if you had the Rambler?
Thanks!
AnswerAccording to what I can find, both cars are of equal value. I am a Corvair freak as in my younger days I raced a Yanko equipped Corvair. However the Rambler is rarer of the two so it boils down to what you what to see parked in your garage.
