To do just the exterior cosmetically, you'll need a tail panel, taillamps, '70-'71 fenders, the grille & all its attendant parts, side markers, and bumpers with mounts. Up front all you can really re-use is the valance and the headlamp mounts. The latter won't be correct but will fit. It's...
The "rise" or distance from the car to the bumper are the same between '73 and '74. Both years use the same filler panels. I have the complete rear bumper and brackets off my '74. The car came out of Alabama so they're not in bad shape. I'll dig it out tomorrow and get pictures.
They were painted black, then painted with the engine.
I saw the resto-nerd one on eBay and his site, but the "fasteners" aren't correct. His are an improved design, but they don't look like the original. I'll probably buy one for my '71 Challenger. An NOS shield for my Swinger cost me over...
Title says it all... I need the wide hood moulding for a '71 Challenger with the M28 option. It doesn't need to be perfect because the car's not perfect.
1970 is year-specific because of its appearance. Later-year parts will work, but have a different appearance. If you're building a driver, it's not a big deal. If you're restoring for judging purposes, you need the 1970 booster.
The bezel one Barracuda/'Cuda marker lights is body color rather than chrome. They're also a rectangle, where the Challenger lights have an angled end.
I need a complete left front side marker for my '71 Challenger, including the retainer cup. The chrome doesn't need to be perfect (pits are OK), but I'd prefer straight and unbroken. Same with the lens. I can pay with PayPal if you send me an invoice. I don't have PayPal myself so F&F is off...
That should only be done with the full weight of the assembled car sitting on the suspension in order to set the pinion angle. Pinion angle is very important in terms of how the car rides, launches, etc. My Valiant was assembled with the U-bolts holding the perches in place unwelded while I...
I literally linked to one source in my post, but @MoparCarGuy found one you can probably get locally. Hang on to your receipt, though, because the Mr. Gasket (a.k.a. Holley) version had a staggeringly-high failure rate in the recent past. That's why I recommended the Stewart/EMP unit or NOS Mopar.
I used a US Car Tool kit on my '69 Valiant. Very heavy-gauge metal and good quality. I didn't use the shackle tubes, but it wasn't any kind of issue with the kit, I just decided on spring sliders instead.
I did this on my Challenger with what I'm guessing was far less experience in this...
The key-release lever and shifter are mechanical devices with no direct electrical functions of their own. The shifter indirectly affects backup-lamp function, but the switch itself is in the transmission and has zero bearing on whether the car starts.
If I had to guess, I'd be looking at the...
Welcome to FEBO! My best friend had a '74 'Cuda in high school with a reasonably-snotty 318/auto. We had a lot of good times in that car, including humiliating a classmate's '73 454/4-speed Corvette. That 'Cuda is still on the road somewhere, but not around here anymore.
My personal favorite...

Are you using the right thermostat? Your cooling system was engineered to work with a particular thermostat design. It was so important that in some instances Chrysler put a decal in the engine bay to make sure the correct 'stat was used. This style isn't available through regular channels...
I picked up a solid '71 Challenger 318/3-speed a couple of weeks ago, but the grille is missing. Cracks and breaks are OK as long as it can be installed and will still look like a '71. I'd also like to find an M28 hood moulding; again--I don't need perfection. I'm looking for something...
I checked Hamtramck Historical (an excellent resource) but came up empty-handed. Still, it's worth keeping an eye out there; if your build sheet surfaces he'll send it to you with proof of ownership.
I'm assuming you've already checked all the usual spots on the car by now.
It's the same all over MI. How many decades have we had new fees, taxes, etc. that were "to fix the roads" but the money goes elsewhere? What's even worse is that Lansing forgets the UP even exists. Were it not for the much-lower traffic content, our long-neglected roads would definitely be...
