WWYD?? (what would you do?)

Keep the Camaro.

That '56 2-door sedan is a mid-line 210 model, not a top-line Bel Air. Easy to tell by the side trim and lack of stainless trim around the windows. Plus it would say 'Bel Air' instead of 'Chevrolet' on the rear quarters.

They came in 3 different trim levels, the 150 is the Plain-Jane low-line model.

once you start changing things around and upgrading the driveline and suspension, it really stops mattering what the car started out as.

And the 150's are harder to find these days since no one really keep them "that's just a 150". Belair's are gaudy in my opinion. Mine was a 150 and where building my dad a Belair.

dose that car belong to a guy named Ron?

[crazyfireman]

It is owned by a guy named Mike in Louisiana

[Gearhead Dude]

I like them both and recently sold a '54. What type of driving do you enjoy? How do you plan to enjoy the car? The '56 is going to be much heavier and even with suspension upgrades, isn't going to move or handle like your Camaro. If that's ok, you're looking for a change, and the '56 is well constructed, make the swap. Since the car is so far away, I'd make a thorough checklist to evaluate his car once you get to see it up close so you don't miss something.

Thats a tough one! I am a sucker for the tri-5 chevies so I would probably be into the trade.

But as someone said previously, I would want both!

[TonyL]

I'd probably trade. Tri-fives are worth more. That 56 looks real nice. My fave color combo too. Im with the "trade your wheels" guys here too. It needs bigger wheels to look current. Other than that. Just tell yourself you've *had* a camaro. you can check that off your bucket list.

[jy211]

Just make sure you check the floors and the support rails under it... I luckily have both cars...so hit the powerball quickly!

I also agree with the bigger wheels...I have 18/20 on my 56' and wish it was 19/20 or maybe 20/20. I'll decide that answer once I get my 55' set on the 19/20 Rushforth combo I have....

[buickfunnycar.com]

Personally I wouldn't do it,probably why he wants to trade into a Camaro.

Man that car really is in the weeds,isn't it...I hope that's bagged and not your ride height,can see why it's not so streetable.

[ill steez]

i'd rather have the camaro, but that 56 is super clean. you're pretty much in a win win.

[crazyfireman]

I will definately go with bigger wheels. He is doing all the driving and I told him if it wasnt as he described he will have to drive back home with the 56. He understands and is confident in his car. I really wish I could have both but my wife is getting her new Camaro in a few weeks so it just isnt feasible.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

trade the camaro?!?

you're...

[venturabeachpup]

Boy, tis a tough one alright. I think any tri-5 is harder to come by than a 1st gen (IMO) and that is one cool looking 56.... Hmmm...Lets see... That Camaro is awesome too...Both cars look great!... Yup, my post is of no help or use to you. LOL

Well....No...wait...wait... Keep the Camaro!

[130fe]

Danny, with your car being supercharged and his not, I would not trade straight up, would need some cash plus the 56 for your car. Do you still have the 47? Is he interested in that at all?

[bigvegan]

Could you trade cars for a long weekend? (Something to make it worth the drive?)

I have a feeling that you'd know pretty quickly whether you wanted to trade or not, probably even on the drive home.

[compos mentis]

I'm a big tri-five fan but your Camaro just looks like its worth more for some reason.

Not sure why.

I really like your paint and not the '56's, but obviously you do.

If it was me, I drive a bunch of tri-fives first. Find one I really want and then see about selling/trading the Camaro for one.

So I wouldn't settle on this '56 yet.

I hope that helps...

[DriverzInc]

I went back and forth, but I voted keep the camaro. They are hotter cars right now. Remember how hard a time I had selling my 55? The market is down on those cars right now, and 60s muscle is doing better. Either way though, make the decision on what you like most. Want a 32 Ford Roadster? I have one for trade... LOL.

[tymbom]

I don't see the point in trading cars and then selling the '56 to buy another Camaro. Doesn't make sense. If you realling like the Camaro, you're wasting time and money messing with the '56.

[b-man]

once you start changing things around and upgrading the driveline and suspension, it really stops mattering what the car started out as.

I was simply pointing out the fact that the car isn't a Bel Air model.

And no matter what changes you make to the drivetrain and suspension the body and trim level stays the same, so it is of relevance. The Bel Air models are simply worth more, no matter what trim level anyone prefers.

[crazyfireman]

I dont plan on selling the 56, just if something changed my mind once I traded, I could get another Camaro...

[Mossimo777]

I'm not big into trading, unless its for cash...
