Default Extra parts for '72

Hi all. The guy who sold me my 72 is giving me the option to purchase all his extra parts for it. He claims he always stocked up on anything he thought would be hard to find in the future, and that some of these original parts fetch exorbitant prices. Below is a list and some pics he sent. Any ideas if any of these parts are indeed rare, or what this lot would be worth paying for? Thanks in advance!

Don't know what he wants, but most of it looks used. Don't see anything dated/rare/impossible to find at a good swap meet. I wouldn't pay more that a $300-400 max for it all. You could Ebay some of it, like the back glass and do OK but I don't see anything worth big bucks. My .02

I'd say the lot might be worth $1000 in single pieces.
The rear window alone is $100 for a decent one.
If you do buy the lot, I'd be interested in some rear marker lights.

It sounds like some of that may be off your car during upgrades. I would definitely buy it if the price is reasonable.

I agree with the above posts. I would buy them only (price being the key) to re-sell most of them. Most parts you can get as you need them. Don't buy them just to keep on the shelf, unless you are getting them for dirt cheap. JMO.
