I have a friend with a resto shop and will probably pass them on to him. He always takes care of me and lets me store my cars there.

Here’s a few examples of the struggle:

Headlight housings for 72 Firebird and 66 GTO. Not hard to find reproductions and obviously weren’t good enough to go back on the car after paint- but they are original GM parts

Seatbelts for a 4th Gen. I have 5 4th gens. Will I ever need seat belts? Probably not. They aren’t hard to find now- but what about in 5 years.

A used wiring harness out of an LT-1 TA. It a mess. However, I have 4 LT-1 cars. Someday I may need some of the factory connections.

Old carburetors. Mostly off of 2nd Gen TA’s. Again- I chose not to use them this time but do I want to chance not being able to get another one?

Factory bumpers that aren’t rusted, just worn. Great cores.

But again- the space this stuff takes up is just too much. It wouldn’t be if I had two cars- but when you have 10, 20, or 30 I wonder if I am better off just paying the price when I need it rather than storing it just in case?
