In my book it might worth about half of what your asking for your 64.. if that..

Anyone can set a $ amount anywhere they want. To be fair, we need to see what your project car and parts look like. The real question in not about value, but if the trade is fair or not.
Looks like a nice truck. In some places, it will bring a higher price then it will in other places, but I think $6500 is a stretch, then again, $6500 might be a stretch for your car as well. Something that runs and drives is easier to sell then something that doesn't. Gene

I agree with what you're saying. I have the car listed here in the B body section with a pic link to some of the stuff. My car isn't a driver but it runs and I have some very nice stuff but it is a project. I promised myself I wouldn't sell it at a loss, I'd just do it someday. This guy thinks highly of his truck and it's most likely worth more to him than it is. I just don't want to get upside down in a trade.

By putting a dollar value to both vehicles, you have removed the single thing that is important to the both of you- the hobby part of it all.

He wants your pile of parts 64, and he's willing to trade his nice truck for it.

You want his nice truck, and he's willing to trade it for your 64 project.

If you both are happy with that (and only that), do the swap! That's what hobbyists do!

If you (or him, or both of you) are concerned about the market value or investment potential, neither of you will be happy with both what you already own, and what you'd swap for.

This is a hobby, not Wall Street. Hobbies cost money, and hobby, by definition, has no financial return at all. If it did, it's a business.

You decide what you want to do. I've done both (D & W trucks and a 64 Fury) and have lost 10's of 1000's of dollars on both. But they sure were fun to do, and as a hobby, I thoroughly enjoyed them!
