Everyone has a friend or a relative who has a yard or a barn full of bits of old cars, stored for spare parts and slowly gathering dust and rust. You probably view them as being a little eccentric for hoarding such apparently useless items. Perhaps you even do it yourself, and if so, just know that all your friends think you're weird! Don't let that concern you though; you're going to have the last laugh when you get your collection valued.
Various pieces of old cars are now sought after either for restoration projects, or for use in unconventional furniture or wall-art design. Hipster bars and restaurants, in particular, love them. The most valuable piece of car we've heard about is the hood ornament from the old Rolls-Royce 'Spirit of Ecstasy', which is worth approximately $200,000. They were encrusted with diamonds, which unsurprisingly made them common targets for thieves.
