How about some pics? I agree with Firstbird though. Keep all of the windows and the taillights. There's so much to list. I'd keep pretty much everything that was good and would come off. Post in the "Parts for Sale" section and make some extra $$$.

I would keep any trim on the outside of the car. Bumper, header panel, lights, emblems etc.

All the above. Park brake cables if they're not seized. Complete fuel lines (you'll want those for your swap). All the keys/locks/column lock cylinder if they're all there and working. Engine harness. Fuel injector harness.

Interior door handles, I had one break a few months ago and couldn't find any for weeks. Really frustrating until I was able to find one in a junk yard...LOL
