I have most of them on shelves in my garage - even the crap.  Some of the bigger items, like the extra wheels with tires still mounted and the cracked engine block are outside.  Good thing I have an alley and let the grass grow tall.  The engine block didn't make it too far from the hoist after I pulled it, and it makes my garage area look like a junkyard when I trim the grass...

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Your old parts

Hey, List.
 
My goal has never been to "restore" this 67 of mine.  I'm more into what they call a "restification", I guess.  As luck would have it, though, the car was mostly original when I bought it.  I've been hanging onto these parts as I swap them out, mostly because I just think it's cool to have the original stuff.  I'm never selling this car anyway, so I don't really care about any resale appeal to having the numbers-matching stuff handy.  Well, never say never, but you guys know what I mean.  :o]
 
I want to rebuild that 327 myself someday, just for the experience if nothing else, and I'm planning to buy an old Chevy pickup (either a 58/69 Stepside, or a 65/66 Fleetside, I think) when I get a little further along on this Chevelle.  It might be nice to have the engine and transmission on hand, for example, in case I come across a deal on someone else's unfinished project.
 
Still, I think a lot about selling the stuff that I'm not using, so I can buy more goodies for the Chevelle RIGHT NOW.  Again, you guys know what I mean.  :o]
 
Anyway.  I'm not really looking for help here - I just thought it might make for a fun thread.  What are you guys doing with your old parts?
