'68 Ford LTD and $4900 for a '70 914-6? Sounds like the right decision to me too.
Great trade 
CPI is always fun to calculate... smart trade, hope you still have the car! Pics please!
That LTD is probably ferrous dust by now.

Similar vintage for my 73 teener when Dad bought it new.
So awesome. What a gem.
Very cool!
Nice!
(I've still got the canceled check somewhere for my early '71 purchased on 11/11/70, and still have the car- in fact I drove it today)

Since this photo was taken have you put the engine back in?
Is it close to being back on the road?
No and No…
Haven’t really touched it in years..
I’d really rather not put the original engine
back in it if I can help it..
I’d rather throw in an engine I wouldn’t mind
blowing up as much as the original..

Your trade reminds me of the joke, “I got this Porsche for my husband. Best trade I ever made.”
