In a couple years, you might be able to build a car out of them.

some was, oh, I might need this and the price was right..
what I pictured was not all of it. I have a couple harnesses, along with door panels and more hush panels. I think I need to separate the stuff I need to keep and the stuff I could sell

Same goes for the OP. If you really need all those replacement parts, then put them in your car already and be done. If not, please make them available to those who really do need them.
I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do, I am just sharing my thoughts about this "parts collecting" thing. That's what these forums are for, sharing thoughts and information, so don't flame me. Bottom line is, to each their own. If hoarding is your hobby, nobody can stop you. If you have an obsession, maybe get some help...? More than ever in this world, it's important to think of people besides ourselves. We are a community.
Say there's a guy working his butt off doing a full restoration and he needs a good part that isn't being reproduced, and he just can't find one. (Or maybe they are being reproduced but he really wants an original.) 30 miles away, another guy has three of these parts sitting in a box "just in case" and doesn't really need any of them. Seems wrong to me.

Stripping everything you can? Why? If you need parts, go get what you need. If you have reason to believe a part will fail soon or is getting worn, then prepare for it. But grabbing parts "just in case" will keep other Corvette owners from valuable parts that they actually need right now.

I will sell many of what I have, but too many times I post stuff on here and it never sells. I have a lot of stuff to sort and price, then I can post it. I have some stuff listed that I posted yesterday.. I will post more, I promise
I will send you a PM

I'm a bit of a packrat with spare stuff. I can't toss stuff that's still good if it'd being replaced with speed parts. I have box's of stuff in the attic. I needed one of those door hatch switches for the ZR-1 but got one on e-bay.
