Is this worth trying to sell or toss it ??

I gutted this awhile ago from my 1970 Olds Cutlass/442 clone and I've held on to it for too long now.
I'm debating if it's even worth keeping to sell, or just to toss it.

I have zero intention of reusing it, and was only holding onto it to sell in case someone else might make use of it.
Thoughts ??

Where is the best place to list it , and what's a good $$$ to ask ??

Honestly I'm not a patient man, I'm clearing out my basement storage.
If it's not sold quick, it's getting tossed.

If you want it sold quick, advertise it on here for $25-$50 and someone should bite.

Cra-zypeoplecomingoutofthewoodwor-ig'sList is always another option.

I've sold both of those parts locally for $$. But it took some time before someone showed up needing them. But please don't toss them. Someone will need them sooner or later.

I can't tell in the picture but is the POA valve still there? If so then classic auto air will buy them as cores. Also like others have said. If the housing is not cracked then it is worth at least $50. If the threads are good on the lines and the rubber is not cracking then I sell them for $40 per line.

Same thing here....the fiberglass housing. If it's not discolored/stained then it has some real value to someone. These are getting harder and harder to come by in real nice condition and the repro housings don't look remotely close.

Don't toss the stuff....at least offer it locally or take the time to advertise it on this site.

Happen to be SW of Chicago??

The NW Suburbs about 35-45 minutes from downtown along I-90.

I also work near Park Ridge. A closer suburb on the NW Side.
