Default Any value to these parts

I was moving the cars around last night and started to think maybe I am just wasting space. I have the original fuel tank for my 71, surface rust on the outside. Should I just stick it out for scrapers? I also have the long tube headers that were used with 4" side pipes. The pipes got tossed years ago they were rusted out on the bottom. These headers have rust on them too from sitting around and sitting on the car for years. Are they worth saving or scrap those too?

put them on craigslist for $20 bucks each. Someone may have a use and you get gas money. After a week or too, give them to the metal mongers

Or if you given up on them, rather than trashing them, post them in the parts section for free. They may be of value to someone on a budget and that may live close by (shipping would kill the value)!!! Ike

I really only kept the headers because it is what my dad ran on the car. The fuel tank I wasn't sure if the stock one really carried any value or not. My space has just been getting smaller and smaller here lately and my game of tetris is starting to go against me. lol.
