Both cars you pictured look nice. However we need much more info. What shape is your 54 in? Does it have all it's original parts? We also need more info on the Stingrays. Are they base motor cars or L82's or even 454's? The 73 you say is a 4 speed and I see the 74 is an auto. Do they both have the original motors and solid frames/birdcages? I can see someone painted the chrome bumpers on the 73 so I would look closely to see what else has been modified. It all depends on a lot of these factors

Do you feel these two C3s are worth your 54? Related question: do you want the two C3s?

Only my opinion, but I can see $25K for the pair of C3s as long as there are no gremlins we may not know about. Are you close enough to travel for a look-see?

Personally I'm not a fan of the 54's. I would jump on that trade !
