Default Help with parts value estimates

Hey all;

As many of your know, with this recent purchase of the black 65, it came with a ton of parts. I think many would be good for other owners who are looking to fix build or repair, so I'd like to move them along at reasonable prices. Can you help suggest what a reasonable value would be? All this stuff is in great shape.

4:88 gear set
LSD/post unit
black hooker competition headers to black side pipes
Fan
Fan shroud
upper and lower A arms with Ball joints
SPC upper a arms with ball joints
Full Sharkbite rear coil over set up with QA1's
Rear sway bar, shark bite
Rear sway bar stock
Power steering unit - complete but without hydro pump
4 piston front calipers (rotors too if you want them)
Repair Manual (I may just make a couple copies of the whole thing)

I'll dig into more boxes and update more soon..

Thanks!

Yea... 4.88's...... Either the car was a drag car at one point (cause it also had a 4 speed in it) or the PO was setting it up for the next gen 8 speed with 2 or 3 OD ratios....

As an old guy I sometimes forget about today's overdrive options. Running straight 4:88"s in my day was only meant for one purpose!

Improving gas mileage.??

Easier clutch engagement??

Better traction in snow??

Mountain/hill climbing??

Like the time I came home with G70 tires on the rear of my '67. Explained to my parents it was for better handling and safety. At the time I thought they bought the explanation, but looking back my Dad was no dummy. I'm sure he figured it out, especially since I only had them on the back! (by today's standards those would be narrow tires, but back then they were pretty wide.)

4:88's were for sissys....I ran 6:14's in my 67' Camaro....a little tough for normal street driving but made lots of $$$ late at night....those gears and a nasty Small Block....they never knew what hit them...

My best friend tried the "Better traction in snow" excuse on his Dad when ordering a new red 1967 Chevelle 396 with 4-speed and 4.11 gear. Dad never really bought the excuse, but signed the paperwork for the car anyway.

Good Dad to have.

I’ll bet dad also knew that skinny tires get better traction in snow, but let that go also! My kind of dad.

Ran around Long Island with 4.88's in my 409 in 1964 and 1965. Fun and made some money. Also used 4.88 chunk in my 57 Bel Air with 3-speed overdrive!

I know we are way way off topic here..... But, my dad started us driving in the winter and only during snow storms...... He insisted that we learn to drive only on the worst of days.....

LOL....But, before I ask moderators to nominate this thread for "most off topic" can we get back to whether or not my stash has any value?

I would be advertising the above bolded items on racingjunk.com or your local craig's list. There would be a better audience there than here for those items.
Side pipes used are probably $500-700 if in good condition.
4.88s probably $150-200
I don't know about the posi and it is hard to determine it's condition without taking it apart to look at the clutches.
