Original take off parts

Just wondering if there is any market for the used parts taken off when re-doing a car? Case in point, I 've been working on my '67 Vista Cruiser and have the parts I removed. Such as, front springs, sway bar, AM radio, brake booster, California emissions pump and parts, etc. I'd rather offer the stuff to someone that needs it than just take it to the dump. Do people actually buy used, stock, take-off parts like these? It's time for a major garage cleanout and this stuff needs to go. Along with all my leftover '39 Ford parts and some street rod parts. Yikes! There's a lot of stuff sitting around... Mike

Yes,

There is a market. Make a list of what you have and post it in the parts for sale forum. you would be surprised at the items people need and can't find

The 1966-67 Olds A.I.R. parts are pretty rare and most got trashed years ago. Restorers are looking for these, believe it or not.

I don't have the "collector" mentality but I know some of those guys get nuts over, seemingly, useless stuff. I figured the AIR stuff would be good, but the rest I'm working on a list and photos and will post an ad when I'm done.
