I'm thinking about trading my '81 Corvette for a '99 or older Heritage Springer or a 97 or newer Jeep Wrangler (low miles).

Just testing the waters in case someone is interested....

Car is in great running condition 86K but the interior needs replacement which I have everything to make it look new:

A lot of money invested already, and a GREAT project car.

I vote to keep the vette and still get the Springer.

I'm hoping to soon add a Heritage to these two.

 

I have a C5 and a Springer as well....





I don't have time for the C3, but would like to have older HS though. ( I had two '99s - one was stolen - one was totaled )

 

You'll have to do some custom paint on the Springer to match the vette's.
Here's an RK Custom that would match up...

Man, what a dilemma. Check out all the Heritage Springers on ebay before you get rid of the vette. Anyway you can keep it and still get the bike? Everytime I traded something I was particularly fond of for something I thought was more important at the time, I've always regretted my choice. If you start missing the vette, you'll always look at the bike and wonder why you did it.

Sell the swimming pool instead.

Hey, better yet, get rid of one or two of the hay burners in your barn. A bike will always bring pleasure; a horse is always looking for a reason to kill you!

I hear ya about the hay burners! They belong to the Mrs. though.

I was just looking to see if anyone was interested.
