With the price of 1st gens and their parts skyrocketing doesn't it make you wish you had collected parts when they were much cheaper and readily available such as RS wiper motors, wheelwell mouldings (passenger side rear in particular), 12 bolt rearends and anything Z/28 or COPO related. With that being said what parts do you see becoming highly sought after in the future?

i would take a case of original windlace for the door jambs, as well as a case of A pillar moldings. simple items but they can make or break your interior. garage full of 12 bolts and 427s wouldnt get it my way either.

convertible pieces would be nice as well, im thinking the chrome trim and plastic rain gutter would fetch some cabbage.
