Should I trade?

As far as a "true muscle car" goes anything after '71 becomes less valuable. I'd say look everywhere in the car for rust. Under the carpet, in the trunk...Run the VIN through and make sure it is a real SS, check for matching numbers with the engine and the car, etc. Buy one of those bondo meters and see how much bondo she has (or a magnet). You are trading something that has yet to reach it's true value for something that has. I'd scrutinize that car HARD. Any little blemish I'd take a note of. Personally, I'd keep the DSM.
