My first reaction is to keep both. If you really want the Camaro and you really do not want the Corvette then borrow the money to buy the Camaro against the Corvette then sell the Corvette. The worst that can happen is that you may have to pay car payments till you sell the car. Having your wife missing the Camaro and being ok with getting it back makes all the difference in the world. There is a car from my past that I would pay a premium to get back if I could ever find it so go for it.

I second that. I spotted my dad's '79 Camaro back in high school. The car had been gone for at least 17 years and finally surfaced back in my home town of all places. I went through the trouble of tracking down all the history on it, only to be let down when the kid didn't want to sell it.

Someday he'll get rid of it, and I'll be here waiting. Even if it isn't really a valuable car per se, It's valuable to me.

Look over the car, and if you can get it back, do it, but hang on to it this time!

I have plans to go see the car this Wednesday; I have my Corvette listed for sale on the Corvette Forum. I may regret selling the Corvette but, I have always missed this Camaro.

If you can get it and you want it and it doesnt put your family out, GET IT! I have a BIG regreat I sold a very nice 69 Z28 that I had bought from my friends mom, YES MOM! I had known the car since I was 17 I sold it to another friend of mine in the late 90's who destroyed it in my eye, When I have time I will post a story on the car very interesting story of money and no taste and taking a survivor Z28 and making a Pro Touring car out of it and taking all the original parts to the dump... This is when it was real.
