Fall Fling - E body parts

[70chall440]

You've done well given the time you have been in the hobby. As I have mentioned, back in the day very few people gave 2 thoughts to what a fender tag was or said let alone a broadcast sheet. I got into Mopars when I was around 15 or so (interest wise) and got my first Mopar when I was 16 which was a 69 Sport Fury (complete POS if I am being honest). I have had a number of GM and a couple of Ford vehicles but always stuck with Mopar. I cannot say I have really had anything that was super rare (at least that I am aware of) but I always like Mopar because they were different, IMO no 2 of them were the same which appealed to me and still does.

Should I come across any M46 cars I will certainly send them your way.

I sure appreciate it. Since I mentioned it, here is the tag for an M46 that I had a chance to rescue. Just the tag, car is supposed to be crushed. BH23N0B110518 #11 on my list of 24.

I'm glad that wasn't taken wrong. I have been to the fall or spring fling 4 times, this was the first time there were no super birds or Daytona's there, and the venders that were there really didn't have ebody stuff. Of the 2 things I was searching for the sport steering wheel and rear view mirror, I was only able to find a perfect wheel and I paid double what I wanted to pay like 240.00 I think I paid for it. I really appreciate the guys who load all that stuff up and set it out for sale but like the crack of 12:30 they start loading it all back up. I got there around 9:45 and by the time I got my car parked etc and made my way across the park it was creeping 11:00 so an hr and a half later you had better had seen it all.. Thanks again for sending your stuff, and I feel you about the shipping I hate it and appreciate all the people that do sell things on this site sometimes there's a deal to be had other times I feel like folks are treating it like stuff is gold plated.

It rained in the morning. There would have been 50 higher end cars without that rain including some wing cars, promo 70 440-6 4spd challenger convertible,

Still had a bunch of 71 Cuda’s.

You gotta get there at 7:00 am for swap. Did the rain delay your start? That was really unfortunate.

Perfect woodgrain on an E-body wheel for $240 doesn’t sound too bad?

There was a guy with a trailer full of E-body parts he was selling for a sick friend. He sold most of it early. Was parked two spots down from Bill Edwards and 70chall440’s stuff. He had lots of body and interior stuff.

Looks like a lot of fun. See anything rare in the swap meet?

There’s some hard to find parts in the pics I show above if you look closely and know your parts.

But here’s some rare stuff…

This NOS headpipe is ultra rare. It’s for the 64 Tri Y spaghetti exhaust manifolds that maybe 2-3 sets exists??

This 1953 Chrysler Ghia is like 1 of 3. Like they made more, but this first run is different.

Also in the middle of the rocker picture, I think there’s a set of BB Norris rockers?

Is this a Norris in the middle??

Odd valve cover mod. And check out the Tri Power Ford FE intake in the back!

I like that 53 Chrysler, any idea what he was looking to get for it? Looked like some hidden treasure laying about.

Only 3 of my items sold; the 72-74 Challenger grille center, the Challenger exhaust tips and the 72-74 Cuda lower valance/turn signal insert.

Have know idea on price of the 53. But better prepared for a well over $100K resto. I’m sure part will have to be fabbed/recreated.

This is what I bought:

3- vanity license plates - $30

Mopar sign - $ 20

Mopar parts sign - $ 20

Convertible Window molding for my 68 Dart $100

July 1967 dated 340 intake for my Barracuda or 68 Dart $90

3- 67-early 68 stainless Dart wheel lip molding (1 good, 1 w/fixable tweak, 1 w/ harder to fix dent), 2- aluminum 67-76 rear moldings (one gouge but fixable) - $40

2 convertible rear ash trays no pits for my '68 Dart $ 5

Lisle Pitman puller $15 (don't trust my Harbor Freight one)

A-body body plug kit for my '68 Dart - $10

Nice

I really like that 53 but I am sure I could never afford it.

Some cool cars there, that green Cuda needs a little love. Reminds me of my 73 when I got it but mine was MUCH worse.

It’s been that way since I first saw it parked in an alley in 1991. Same owner. He just did a bunch of motor drivetrain stuff

Thanks for pointing out those parts. I was totally unaware. Very interesting.

No problem. Parts hunting is fun even if you don’t buy the parts.

BTW, I don’t think that is a Norris roller rocker setup.

Maybe this one on the upper right corner
