I just sold off a bunch of rare 71 cuda parts (shaker parts/six packs/fenders etc.) It was more of losing the storage space in my parents garage where they have sat since 1985 then wanting to sell them off. However, I considered it a tradeoff since it gave me the needed money to put towards my charger.

I have a parts stash, but I don't hoard. I would sell anything I don't have plans on using on my own car.

In some ways, you could call me a car/parts hoarder, I even have parts to car models that I don't collect.  I have been saving stuff for years when I could buy them on the cheap, but due to my college career, I have not had much time/$ to put back into their restorations.  With a few exceptions (true parts cars), I intend to restore every car that I own for a future museum that I have planned on building (a dream of mine for many years).  Now that I am almost done with my Ph.D. requirements, I can get started on the work/$ needed for this to come true..........
chad I want to build a racing musuem and muscle car museum also here at the salvage yard / I-70 speedway
  We should get together !!!!!! 

I'll get ahold of you later on when I have something done on my cars (and some time to spare).  A few of my car friends back home have mentioned about getting a museum together as a means to store their cars during the times they are not using them.  I remember Jerry J. used to make some $ off of the museum attendence that paid for the upkeep of his collection (heating, electricity, water bills).  One of my good friends collects second gen Chargers (he only has four in his set) and third gen camaros, as well as a stash of seven 1941 Buicks.  He absolutely loves 1941 Buicks as they were the first mass produced American car that was advertised as being able to do 100 mph.  I think four of his have the multiple carborator option and I know at least one of them has a front seat heater (rare back then).  He is only missing a convertible to really complete his set (he has found a limosine to buy later on).  He wants to show them next to his Chargers as they were the musclecars of a generation before the baby boomers......... 
yeah i figured to have long term storage for cars in the back , People always need a place to store there car ( winter for sure)
Then give them a price break on the rent if it goes up front in the museum show room ?
GO SELL CRAZY SOMEWHERE ELSE WE ARE ALL STOCKED UP HERE

At one point I had alot of 64-67 GTO stuff in the basement. Sold off alot of the interior stuff  and accidentally left some behind when I moved :eek2: Still have some sheetmetal left and a few grilles.

Now?  Working man with a full life.  No.  Many years ago I was one of the originall Mr moms.  I was so bored as a guy raising a kid that I started getting into mini bike collecting and restoring as a hobby to keep my sanity.  At one time I had 32 mini bikes.  When I went back to work full time, I sold them all.  With this Charger, no extra parts at all, I give away or sell what I have.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I've got a whole bunch of stuff stashed. 


But it's not random.  Everything in the "hoard" is pointed towards a short list of specific future projects. 

And I try not to hoard anything that's reproduced in good quality. 
I try to save the storage space & money for stuff that's only gonna get more expensive and harder to find as time goes on.
