IMO, an LS6 might be a different discussion. If the OP was a car collector, I would say keep a rare car like he has. I have a wife that feels the same as the OP's wife and I would like my weekend driver to deliver everything. The ZL1 to me remains exclusive (not as much as the Chevelle), but is a way better all around performance vehicle.

I say ZL1...

id keep the Chevelle and figure out how to get both. Im fond of both vehicles. The only way I would get rid of my ZL1 would be for a 70 Chevelle LS6 4spd Conv't matching numbers.

No way. You can purchase a ZL1 anytime, but you can't go to the dealer and get a '70 Chevelle.

No no no, if the wife gets a new pair of shoes, I get a new muscle car, wait, I'm not married. I wonder why that is.

Look, I don't have the answer, OP said the classic Camaro means more to him than the Chevelle, but what is the Chevelle really worth to you, and you only. If it's just a car then trade, if you love it like no other keep it.

But all ya'll need to remember, the ZL1 will be numbers matching too.

Keep the Chevelle find a way to get the ZL1. One can never have too many bad assed rides.

Use the Chevelle as collateral on a loan and get the payments down where you need it.
I could never part with my Chevelle.
Or the ZL1!
Best of both worlds.

Don't sell the Chevelle. You are in a situation many would love to be in. I kept my high school car (73 Camaro RS) and waited until I was 50 to buy my ZL1. You can do the same, but hold on to that Chevelle, you cannot replace a numbers matching car like that, it is priceless.

Keep the Chevelle, any d-nozzle can sign the papers on a ZL1, a restored 70 Chevelle is an epic car that only a few can own, just read my sig...

Get the ZL1 but keep the Chevelle, they go so very well together!

toyosuprablue · 07-08-2013, 09:37 AM

Sell the Chevelle. you've owned it, got to drive it and have had time to appreciate it. Now move on to the next car to own, drive, and appreciate. The ZL-1 is not a car to pass up if you have the chance to own one.

Keep the Chevelle, I've sold an L78 70 Chevelle to get my 2010 2ss and regret it everyday.
