Should I sell them ?
 

This weekend is a swap meet at the Gibralter Trade Center in Mt. Clemens. My brother called and asked if I wanted to sell the parts that were taken off/left over after the EFI conversion. Now I don't know if I should sell them or be that person who hangs onto parts "just in case" I want to change back, or if I buy another car. I have accumulated some parts over the years as things have changed on the car.

I have a Holley 770 street avenger carb, which has less than 400 miles on it, I have the power boost canister which was on the car for less than 6 months, a set of 4 original center caps and beauty rings, and lots of other odds and ends.

Do I save them, do I sell them ? How do you decide ?

I have no luck selling anything ,but if you can make a buck go for it .

Unless you have plans to return to a carb'd setup...SELL it.
Carbs depriciate quickly the longer they're left sitting on a shelf.
Center caps and rings value will depend on their condition...

Seems like parts are hard to sell these days around here for a reasonable price.

All this stuff is in like new condition. The center caps are in really nice condition. I am torn. Maybe the carb might be the one to get rid of, especially if they depreciate quickly. And it is easy to pick up a carb, just costly. lol

Go for it, like you said the carb is easy to replace. Use the money for your car.

I am considering buying a new steering wheel and taking off the Rosewood one I have, so that is a possibility.

I wish you had some nice old small block valve covers to sell. Im trying to decide what to dress up my future new motor with .

I can probably help ya out there John... ;) I've got some new '72 parking light bezels too if you need a pair.
Call me...

There ya go John.

John and Joan stopped by the house last night...I fixed him up. ;)

Thanks Bill ,and I will buy that 350 transmission from you as well ,will make arrangements soon .I will give you a call .

There you go, everyone is happy.

So Nancy did you have a good day at the swap meet?

I went today and seemed like there was a lot of Mopar and Jeep parts. I did not send anything for my brother to sell, decided that I would hang on to them a little longer.

Did see a 1970 Chevelle, Red with a Tan interior and bench seats. $12,000.00. I was not impressed with this car at all, crappy paint job, gauges were put randomly around the steering wheel and looked like some kid just cut and pasted them there.

Next was a 1967 Chevelle set up for drag racing. Had a huge list of parts, but no price. This car had the fiberglass front end, roll cage, but didn't really spark anything that said "cool".

Then when I was talking to a friend there her was telling me of an elderly gentleman who has a 1965 Malibu Wagon that he restored a few years back. He didn't go overboard, just wanted to try to go as original as possible. This gentleman is looking to sell it for about $10,000. Now this I am interested in. I will contact my friend after he is done putting all the leftovers from the swap away, I will give him a couple days. :)

Talked to my brother, he said he got rid of quite a few things, but it would have been nice to get rid of it all. We all know how it goes, it stinks having to take it back home.

I myself, almost bought a snow blower, but ended up with some finishing brushes and some smaller tools. Had a good time, but nothing really caught my fancy. Oh yeah, I did find a cool pic of a car from the 60's at Detroit Dragway that I bought.

Wish we had good swap meets here .

Not only did Bill sell me a nice set of old Corvette aluminum valve covers for a great price but he also sold me a newly rebuilt 350 trans for my truck at a bargain ,its nice to have good friends like Bill .

Wait, is there a Corvette in your garage ? Or in your future ?

The cast valve covers are for John's paint jail truck...as is the tranny.

Thanks again John.

No Corvette in my future unless Gary wants to buy me one .
