Recycling original factory parts

I hope this is the proper forum in which to address this question.

 

I am wondering if original factory parts are wanted/needed by restorers of Monte Carlos, even if they need to be repaired or refurbished?

 

For example, I am in the process of replacing original shocks, brakes, radiator and gas tank on my '70 MC. Naturally, I just pitched the old shocks and brake parts, but I've hung onto the original radiator and gas tank (even though they both have minor leaks) wondering if some restorer might like to have them for authenticity (understanding they will need to be repaired/refurbished).

 

Obviously, I don't know the "rules" for authentic restorations so maybe factory original parts are not necessary if newly manufactured identical replacements are available. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
