A few years ago, I bought my '65 Sport Fury from the heir of its last owner. During this corona virus shut-down with time on my hands, I went through all the stuff that came with the car when it was shipped to me. The last owner was really doing a good job of restoring it and accumulated quite an supply of both old and new parts, installing some and storing some. However, he passed away suddenly and left his daughter to clear up the estate. When she shipped the car, she included all of it, the parts that had been removed and replaced as well as NOS and used things. These vary from such items as a '65 SF grill in fair to good condition and brand new brake shoes still in the box to two sets of right and left tail-backup-and brake lights and a brand-new custom wood-rimmed steering wheel (yep for a '65 Plymouth!). Other things are wheel covers, wheel spinners, some beat-up SF emblems, etc.
What I'd like to is where I could get some advice on what to keep, what to peddle, and what to chuck. I appreciate any input.

That was very considerate of the heirs. Many are not so lucky.
Some parts you can tell by looking. Trim pieces I never throw as they are hard to come by. I am probably not a good person to ask as I still have 1/2 an attic full of old engine parts, brake lines and other bits.
I have a new not used parts drawer, and a used parts drawer just in case.
 
Keep all the maintenance items and the best of the trim etc. Anything left over you have duplicates off sell unless you have a place to store it put up a for sale ad, might be a member that desperately needs it. And of course when you sell something you need it the next day!!!!!
