Selling Bolt ons or not

I am about to sell my 72 roadster. Going to replace it with a z06. The car has a few bolt-ons under the hood, intake, carb, headers, chrome rally wheels etc. Should I remove these items and replace with original crap to get best value?

I'm not sure anyone is going to actually give you best value for "crap". Now, putting original parts back on, or including them in the sale, might make a $ difference

Depends on the buyer. I'm not an original type guy so for me the bolt ons add value. To others original is worth more.

I would just include them with the car if the buyer wants them. Maybe mention that you still have the original parts if you put it in a advertisements.

I favour this approach. Makes the sale more attractive as it gives the buyer options. People like flexibility.
