YesX,
In a word; no. You've put all the work into your '74. That's a lot of sweat equity. And your pal wants to offer 3 P.O.S. basket cases in exchange? Yeah, right. No. Even if all three are papered (titles), you've got at least twice (or more, much more) than that in the '74. IMHO, he's gonna hafta come up with some serious cheese, plus the three basket cases. If you can get him there, then you'll have three blank slates.
Eventually, you'll come across an Xs worthy of a nut-and-bolt restoration (I'm still looking!). You've seen them on this forum. Then you'll have your "Holy Grail" bike. Good luck, good hunting (and chopping), and keep us updated!
Live, give thanks, build, ride, repeat.
