Default Does it really make a difference?

I am considering selling the factory radio (that is in the attic and does not work) and the dual snorkel air cleaner for my 72. Will it effect the value of the car if I ever sell it? Does it make sense to keep these original parts? It is an original matching numbers car! thanks
Mark :cheers:

Keep it unless you KNOW you never plan to sell it, or you KNOW you can get another one. :cheers:

Keep the parts. You never know what they'll be worth down the road. THe miniscule amount of $$$ you'd make from them will seem irrelevant in 10 years if you decide to return your car to factory specs and cannot find the parts for reasonable prices.
