My dad has a bad *** '71 Chevelle that he's spent the past couple of years building. With nitrous it makes around 1300rwhp. Well a doctor saw it the other day and really wants it. He offered my dad a straight up trade for his pristine '10 Porsche 911 Carrera.

I think that would be an awesome car to have, but at the same time, how many 1300+hp Chevelles do you see around? My old man is sort of on the fence about it. What would you do?

keep my Chevelle no question........
Chevelle will only go up in value and the other will go down.....

yup, easy one. Porche would be bad *** but a terrible investment in the long run.

Unless it's a RUF, but even then I'd keep the Chevelle. Although a Porsche Carrera is my dream ride, it'd be hard for me to give up a fully wrenched on classic.

If your dad likes going fast keep the Chevelle. Plus in the long run it will be worth more money!

would you rather drive a plastic toy thats going to be worth like 5k in 10 years or timeless american muscle car that you built with your own two hands? the porsche might make a cute daily driver, but for a fun car i say keep the chevelle hands down. resale value aside, the chevelle will be loads easier and cheaper to repair than the porsche. and if he wrecks the porsche? forget about it. wreck the chevelle, just pull the dents lol

Chevelle is better. Real Rides are built not bought.

A $5000 911? It will never be worth that little i bet

Slash it depends what your dads wanting to do. Them 911's go for some coin so if he's looking to get out or build something else and wants to get some money it might be worth considering. How much do you think your dad has spent on his car. The 911 can go for like 70,000.

Keep the Chevelle. The porsche will tank in value fast, won't be easy to wrench on, and will be $$$ to maintain.

if it was a turbo i'd say go for it, but just a carrera, no way.

71-72 Chevelles don't go up in value that well. Least popular of the model years, even though I think they look good. Porsche 911 also don't get that cheap, especially the newer ones with the fancy technology in them. Ever priced out classic 911's? They are worth more than 71-72 Chevelles are.

X2...now if it were a 67 or a 70 chevelle, it'd be a different story

67 Looks like a Horse with Blinders on...66 was better

See thats funny to me because 72 is my favorite year, i love them bad boys.

Plus even if its new a standard 911 is so not worth it, he would be getting the shaft.

I would say let your dad drive the 911, I remember back in like 03 I drove a 911 turbo and it was very uncomfortable for me I am kind of a big guy 6'1 240lbs. The pedals were offset to the right a little bit and it was very cramped.

Your pops needs to decide does he want sleek and sexy or big and bad ***?

A base 911?

I wouldn't trade for that. A Carerra 4S or Turbo would be a different story

Trade for the porshe then sell it and buy a fbody!

Lmao, either way that would be a major downgrade. I think he might keep the chevelle. He still hasn't decided, but i think he's leaning more towards that.
