Chevy guy looking to get into a GT...need your help

Sounds like a good deal. The motor he put in that car is not an all out monster but will deffinatly be a blast to drive, kick some @$$ on the street and give you miles and miles of reliable horse power.
The rims, tint and other stuff can be eaisly changed so if you dont like it make it go away. Car has a good stance to it and fromthe sounds of it has had recent high quality parts installed.
I say go for it, I hate the 4th gen Vettes but thats just me. If the car is as clean as your Vette looks i say go for it

Let us know how it all goes down

is your vette stock? vettes have proven that they hold their value very well over time. I would get it appraised before you do a straight trade. I think your car is likely worth more than his.

if i were paying cash i woul give the guy 6500 tops. I am not sure how good you are mechanically, but you could find a clean body and put in a motor with a lot more power.

BUT, that looks very nice, and the FRPP motor will be very reliable! With the 373's in the rear and about 280rwhp that thing will be a blast to drive on the street. And once you get bored just start building another motor on the side. My buddies vette was nothing but problems either (ended in a car fire).

the car itself looks like a very solid platform to start with.

Welcome......It sounds like a decent deal with quality parts and low miles now. Just get some pics of the install with copies of the reciepts like mentioned above. Nothing helps with the sale of the car like that stuff.

Edit...In the long run the value gap of each car is gonna widen. Vettes tend to hold a good value over time.
