Looking for one or two pieces of mopar memorabilia less than $500 each that would compliment a nice professional office. Wall or floor, what do you suggest?

I use a set of wheels and tires w/ glass over them for side tables. With the skinny old Charger tires, you might need a "tripe stack" to get to 21-23 inches tall, but it would work  :2thumbs:

I have several original ads framed in my office at home, looks nice if you do a good/professional job framing them.

I've got Charger R/T emblems mounted to sheetmetal on a shelf, and a flip-top cap for a paperweight...

Old ads in the rec room, and a carburetor on my... well, that needs to go back on the car...  :scratchchin:

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

I started putting together some items for decoration at my house several years ago.  They might give you some ideas.  One was a glove box door off a 65 Belvedere that I sent over to Randleman, NC and had Richard Petty sign.  The other thing was I cut out the sheet metal around the 69 Charger flip top gas cap (whole thing is about 4 ft long and a foot and a half wide), painted it orange, installed a repop gas cap, and had all of the Dukes of Hazzard cast members that I could hook up with sign it (this one piece of metal was about the only thing on the car left any good).  
I also have a Plymouth dog dish hub cap that I had Don "Big Daddy" Garlits sign.  You can buy a repop license plate used on the black 68 Charger in Bullitt.  In fact, I also have a movie lobby poster of the Bullitt movie that makes a neat wall hanging.  Then, there is always the signed 1:18 scale model car signed by one of the Mopar Greats.  You can find those on some of the model car websites.  A Hurst shifter would be neat.

Yes, Dave might be guilty of cramming too much stuff in for some people.

I bought a super hemi crank shaft off ebay years ago. My engine builder sent it back to me cause he found a crack. I can not see it but I want to keep it for some reason. It is a work of art. Maybe a lamp post?

Dana's stuff is nice, and I have a watercolor of one of my cars, on my office wall. Really good stuff  :coolgleamA:

Sounds like great ideas, would you mind taking and posting a few pictures? I'd really like to see it....

Post a link or picture of your suggestion(s) please......

Go on eBay. You'll find pages & pages of neon & tin signs, clocks, pictures, posters, whatever you want.
Also try Hot Rod Garage (Summit Racing's memorabilia dept). Lots of stuff in there, too.
This isn't hard.

it isn't the act of doing it, it is exact examples I am asking for.

Look for original stuff - one off things.   99% of ebay stuff is dime a dozen.   :Twocents:
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

Sean

yea, that is what Im asking suggestions for. Nice, stuff, not available just everywhere like on ebag, that looks good and nice to show off

Oh. Well, that wasn't specified in your original post.
Do you want actual parts, or framed artwork??
LOTS of things come to mind: wheel covers, door panels, air cleaners, grilles, steering wheels, diecast cars, etc etc etc. Even sheetmetal. I used to make GL doors out of old spare Charger doors I had laying around (not necessarily Mopar memorabilia, but the Dukes fans liked them).
Most frame or art stores (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc), carry picture box frames so you can frame or showcase actual parts or items not just flat artwork.
Scour swap meets. Look in the classifieds here. Yes, sometimes you can find weird stuff on eBay, too.
Just gotta look and be creative.

Sorry.

It can be either. I just want something that is cool, office wall appropriate, but you look at and think "now thats cool."
