Just my .02
A member on here that I know at one point owned one of every turbo V6 GM cars made, as in a GN, TTA, Syclone, Typhoon. He sold them all seperate, it would be SUPER hard to find someone with the cash to buy it all.
Now, when he sold the TTA it came with the cups and high dollar leather jackets still in the wrapers. He still has them hidden away and did not sell them with the car. Would they go for a lot back in the 80's? No, but think of what a low mile TTA owner would pay for them 20 years from now or so? Think of what someone would pay from them down the road that wanted to take their car to Barret Jackson.
I think if you hold onto at least the parts/decal stuff that way down the road when they are very hard to find that they will be worth a lot.
Heck on Barret they said a wood steering wheel with the horn button from a GT 500 goes for about 5k!
If it was me I would sell the cars but keep the parts.

You make a good point. At the moment I am concentrating on selling the '02 and talking with a few people about deals. I'm liking the part trade option, it seems to make the range of possible deals a bit wider. And, I have the room so why not?

Again, very true. Once the car(s) sell, the pressure will be off as I have plenty of room to keep the parts as long as necessary. Funny, all the part-trade offers I'm getting seem to be Camaros. I thought for sure someone would have something unusual as a trade. Not that I'd mind a Camaro.
