    after sorting through everything i'll determine which parts i'll keep for myself and which will be for sale. as i have a comet, all mav emblems will have to go ;)

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    and here come the really interesting parts!

    I like to have some of those parts as well but if I told you what they were worth I'd just be pulling a number out if the air just like anybody else. These parts are worth as much as someone is willing to pay. The only true way to figure that out is list them on eBay. Sell them for high bid plus shipping. You got some really nice parts! Good luck to you with whatever you decide to do with them. :)

    Anything packaged in that brown Ford wrapping should be taken out and inspected. When I hit the motherload 2 yrs ago, some of the NOS wheel well trim I got, which was still in that wrapping, turned out to be unusable due to being bent or smashed. Hope its is as profitable for you as it was for me.
