Two reasons:
1. with the concurrent sales, I knew the price would be insane.

2. (more important)... You and I have worked on cars all our lives, right? Have you ever taken a set of plug wires off and tossed them in a box... when they were good? Think about it....

As to keeping original parts, in my general area we have a well-known "restorer" who specializes in, well I can't say (but the logo is a bow-tie and the model name word means "pal" in some language) who is reknown for removing original parts and replacing them with repros. He thinks the customers are stupid (and they may be, for taking cars to him for a "rattle-can" restoration) and that he DESERVES the "good stuff". He then sells these parts to others who want to be "original".
