Is there really any reason to keep your stock parts? I am begining to have a pile of them sitting around.

Are any of the intake/exuast or the gears worth saving? I would lean towards not, but I dont want to throw something away I might be able to sell. Hell maybe someday stock parts for a 99 GT will be as hard to get as a 60s mustang?

 

Well look at it this way...if something you put on breaks wouldn't it be nice to have the stock to be able to put back on right away? Most of the stock parts you're not gonna get much money for so if you've got the space I'd probably save them. I'm saving my stock H-pipe just in case I ever have to pass inspection somewhere that cares about that.

 

20 years from now, it will be cool to restore your car to the factory specs. Can you imagine a 74 Mustang that is configured just like it was when it left the factory?

 

Keep them!

If you are a gear head you will break something and need that.Or maybe your buddies might need them.

My stock parts i keep.I have a whole half of my garage dedicated to parts like motors trannies and whatever i acquire or trade or buy.

Plus you just never know what you can trade off.Keep them man.Or send them this way.lol

 

Most people who do restorations configure them back to original specs. If you don't it's called restomod.

 

I'd keep the stock parts.

You never know what could happen and you never know when you might need them for whatever particular reason.

 

you could always take them to a swap meet and try to sell them to someone who is doing a restoration job or just keep them until you trade the car and then try to sell them. no real since in keeping them forever unless you're going to make a business out of it though!

 

Yea, that's a good point too, if there's a chance of getting rid of your car in the near future you're gonna be better off putting the stock stuff back on before you sell it since you're not gonna get your money back for the performance parts in the price of selling the car.
