Default No idea what 1970 original parts are worth!

Hi ,everyone, My father is the original owner of his 70 swinger , I also had one but scrapped it years ago, but was smart enough to take parts off first. My dads car is still in the garage, in restoration. I have parts such as Instrument cluster , intake manifold, holley 4bbl carb, amongst other parts. I can't find any info on the cluster I.e what it's worth. Anybody have an idea ? Much appreciated thx. Swing 70 Swing.

Do you actually WANT to sell them??? Given that they are going to be INCREDIBLY rare these days..... I would expect they wouldn't be exactly cheap...... So, the question becomes, what are they worth TO YOU? If you want to sell 'em, make that determination, and list them on EBay with your minimum opening bid. See what happens. I was very pleasantly surprised on some vintage jaguar parts that I sold..... and flat out stunned how much the basket case 331 hemi went for...... WOW!!!!

Is incredible what the Mopar parts sell for ... Sometimes you can search ebay and see what others are asking.

A bit confused .... are these extra parts, or are they parts that belong to the car and you just want to part the car out?
I would think that if you had the complete car and wanted to sell it all as a package, would be easier to sell and worth more with all original parts.
Selling parts on ebay is like a full time business and a lot of fruitcakes to clear out from the actual buyers.

One thing I have seen though, these older Mopars have everything reproduced and available or restorable ..... Whats the actual condition of the parts you want to sell?

Back in the early days(late 90's early 2000's) ebay was awesome! Private sellers selling parts. Now you have jump threw hoops, Exclude countless sellers just to find one. They need to clear out the garbage! And get rid of that "Guaranteed To Fit" nonsense. When is Trump's tariffs going to kick in and hopefully get rid of some of the china made junk on there. Then you have the people selling stuff for astronomical prices. Ebay is a chore now.

The parts I'm selling, came off my 70 swinger. Dad bought me for 16th birthday. Though it was an automatic, it was one hell of a car to learn on. Torsion bars were welded 3 times and eventually had to scrap it! But took off parts before doing so. My dad's car is in pretty good shape all intact needs a paint job, not really planning on selling . Thx for the info.
