I have a guy that is interested in trading me his 1980 original corvette from my 06 XL1200R.

His vette needs the seats redone and minor interior repairs. He has new brake calipers, starter, power steering pump installed.

Should I do it or not??? It is only the L48 auto not the L82, but looks like a very clean car otherwise.

Thanks for looking and any reply's are welcome,

Mark

 

Do you like your Sportster?

 

Do you like Corvettes?

 

Keep the bike! Buy a corvette!

 

thats not a good year vette get one thats worth keeping and gives you some pride of ownership

 

I like my bike and I like corvettes. I know the HP on the 80 corvette isn't what the new ones are, but the newer ones just don't have the curves of the 80's, not to mention 1980 was the last year of non computer controlled cars. I would like to build a 383 stroker or possibly drop in a big block.

I would like to keep the bike, but just don't want to have a payment.

 

I prefer the black sheep cousin to the corvette, the El Camino.
I even pull up next to em and yell " howdy cousin" all waving my arms like the family embarrassment.
keep your Harley bro.

 

I had a '77 and was single and the old saying "you never regret that you bought the vette" was very true...wish I still had that car!
Now that I'm old the bike is a better toy for me.

 

tell him to find a shelby to trade.
an 80s rat? no way man

 

Nope, not even a nice vette. I'd pass...
