Parts hoarders,what's the rarest or most valuable part you own?

[Stuart]

Went through Dans stash of stuff, seems he's got one or two un cracked 1.6 8v air meter to intake pipe..... Think that's his pension sorted

How about an original GM GTE back box, had countless arguments over this, the GTE had a specific back box that came out flush with the bumper not at an angle like most people presume,

How about having 2 new ones of them?

I will not start to do a list, will be (nearly) endless. I'm a truly infected parts hoarder, I've got an Excel list of all new parts, is nearly 700 rows long!!!
There are not only a lot of body parts, but also boxes full of new decals, engine parts, water hoses, interior parts, new carpets .....
Beside that, the stock of used parts is also not small , even the collection of interiors is big.
What is the rarest now? Very hard to say. an early tach with an econometer? a new snowplough? new bronze glass? a genuine Irmscher Sprint? Or even a silly Nova game

Would you sell a sr 1.4 mk1 vinyl set ???

i sold all my spare bits and bobs like interior trim spare wiper motors etc a couple of years back probably worth saving now but I didn't think so at the time.

my two favourite nova parts I have stashed away is some brand new all red rear lights and 8v Courtney turbo manifold.

Funny how the headlight protectors are now more valuable than the headlights they were designed to protect

In hindsight it would have been a wise investment to have bought up small but valuable things like headlight protectors, coin trays, irscher rocker covers etc when they were not cool and sold for peanuts.

I guess you have to imagine it in context. Would you keep random bits of trim from a 16-plate poverty spec Fiesta or Corsa? In 1986 I bet nobody thought people would pay £100's for a dog poo brown blanking plate from a bottom-of-the-line granny wagon!

Rarest part I have is probably a NOS tick tock tach, most of them are reproduction now. There's not a great deal on old mopars thats particularly rare though, even being 47 years old its so much easier to get parts for the super bee than it ever was for the Nova.

On the GT4, maybe the TRD quickshift. Don't see many of them for sale these days.
