Parts worth saving?
I have 6 sets of hood hinges for 70-81 Firebirds.Is it worth saving all?Thinking get the 2 best sets and scrap the rest.I'm moving and have so much stuff,30 years of saving stuff.
I just put 5 wiper motors in the pile also..

If theyre half decent I will take them all off your hands. I need a set for myself and the repros that are sold arent so good.

All this old stuff is no longer in most yards and you’d be surprised at what you’ll need. I have a building out back full of stuff that I never thought I’d need, but through the years I’ve proven myself wrong a few times. Also oem parts are gold for the most part as there’s a lot of cheap reproduction junk coming from China.

I’ve bought 2 rusted to hell 79 Firebirds in the past as parts cars and stripped every part I could off them and at times I’m glad I did that.

The wiper motors can be repaired. Never ever throw out used parts for the classic cars.... unless they're rusted all to hell and froze up.
Repo parts are expensive and usually not worth the money spent on them. Quality is severely lacking for most electrical parts. If they do work it won't be for long. So stay away from Auto Zone for wiper motors. They sell junk. And don't ask me how I know.

I don't sell or get rid of any old parts cause they don't make them anymore! And if they are most of the time not worth 2cents! JM2C!
