What is it that you want the car for? Price appreciation, to cruise in, or to win trophies with? It'd be an easy choice for me, as I want to drive all my cars. I would sell the SS and keep the two fun cars. Your logic will be different. But if you sell the SS, it will bring in good money, and the others may not sell as easily.

Phil:
Your analysis was right on point. But, take a look at the Old Price Car guide and see how these cars are appreciating.
Decisions, Decisions.
Thanks.

Ken: You sound like a 67 Chevelle guy to me. If anything's got to go, sell the 57. It needs the most work and probably $ also. Not knowing your age, if you're 50's or younger then the 57 was your father's generation. If you're in your 60's then the choice/dilema is harder. The 67 SS sounds great and probably wins alot of awards. As another thought, maybe you could sell the 57 and the malibu and pick up a 67 Elky SS or another 67 SS to make a driver out of. I really envy your dilema though. I wish I had the room in the garage and some extra $. I'd have a 65 Elky SS driver tow car. Old car guys get nostalgic on any old car but sometimes we have to make realistic decisions. Best of luck to you in making yours. Just my 2 cents worth of thinking out loud! As a closing thought, I was at a show Saturday and saw a 55 Gasser. I have alot of memories of these at the dragstrips from! even B4 I could drive, and while I enjoy looking I don't want to build or own one. I!
'm almost 55 and the era I love the most is the mid 60's. I can enjoy and appreciate what came B4 and after though. Sorry to ramble. Oh, you asked for opinions not thoughts!! Take what you want and throw the rest away. Have a great day
