I wouldnt do it. Ive owned both cars and the vette rules over the goat. Secondly, your car looks great and is ready to drive and enjoy. The goat needs lots of work. If you really want a goat, sell your car and then take your time finding the right one.

With all due respect. You have got to be out of your mind to even consider trading even for that car. IMHO. I dont know what the GTO's are going for but that car does not look worth 7500.00 even at the buy it now price. Your car is a much nicer car then that.

It's not a bad looking goat. Does he have any actual proof that it is actually a GTO or just a clone? Years ago I restored a 70 GTO and there are an awful lot of parts that are pretty hard to find. If it is a numbers matching GTO it will probably be worth quite a bit of money if it were totally restored. Your vette from the looks of it is a much cleaner car. It's a hard choice because I like both of them. Good luck choosing.

Good advice, I'am sure the GTO owner would just love to trade for your ride!

You would be loosing a very nice Vette and getting a car that needs a LOT of work. You will probably regret the trade one day! I would PASS!~!!!!! Save the cash keep your car and then grt the GTO.

Check the VIN and trim tag and make sure the info agrees it's a GTO. Lots of 'phony' GTO's made out of other mid-size Pontiacs. The front bumper on that car just doesn't look right; you can't just put an Endura nose on a LeMans and end up with a GTO. [It's hard to tell from the photo....]

I agree with everyone else on this one. This guy is going to be out there driving around in your vette you have put all the hard work in to and you are going to be setting at home putting hard work into his old car. I would keep my vette rather than trade for that GTO. Keep looking this is not the one to trade for.
You will have to put a lot of time and $ in it to get it close to the shape your vette is in.
