    I have a 63 Corvair that I really don't want anymore. I just can't decide if it would be better to sell it outright or try to trade it for something I would like more. Has anybody here had good luck trading one car for another? Anybody have any suggestions for getting rid of this car and replacing it with something more interesting.

    Cash you can do anything with.

    Inheriting someone else's abandoned problem child offers less opportunity.

    Find someone to love the Vair for what it is, sleep better at night with cash in your sock drawer.

    I haven't traded cars for cars, but I have recently traded parts for parts. I'll only do it for something that I know is of equal value and easier to sell or ship.

    I lift things up and put them down.

    Trade it for my '66 Jeep?

    Trade it for a Miata. Obviously.

    Go fast or go broke.
