Thread: 4 doors...?

Tweet

Not really a no-no, but really lacking in the resale department....even the tri-5's suffer greatly when put up for sale....But on the other hand, you can buy them a heck of a lot cheaper.... Depends on what you want, I guess. Personally, I'd keep looking for a two door. If you can get the 4 door cheap enough it would make a good parts donor, or just build it the way you want it, but keep in mind getting your money back out of it is going to be tough.

Dave is pretty much right on his 4 door or mordor answer. But it also depends upon you. If you want a car to drive for a few years and then sell or trade, then the 2 door will likely be better. If you are looking for a rod to cruise in, and if you have a family who wants to cruise with you, then a 4 door may be more practical. I have a 4 door cruiser, satisfies all my needs, but I know it isn't going to bring big bucks on a sale. But then again, I won't care if it happens to be an estate sale.

I also know of a few 4 door street rods that are real sharp. But then again, it really is what you desire and what you expect from the car.

Moredoors are getting more popular with the scarcity of the more traditional two doors. Like others have said, they're great for family touring. Find a good one, clean it up, and have fun! Sadly, most younger people don't even know the difference any more, anyway.
