Hardest Part to find...

[moparsinbarns]

What do u think the hardest part to find for a 69 Charger is except the grille?

[Charger1973]

The car itself.   

[Brock Samson]

  The Flux Capacitors,.. I have three good ones and two that need refurbishment..

...and although mine didn't come so equiped I understand the "Anti-Vampire Lighting" option is pretty difficult to find in an operable state, especially the UV Version.

 





but in all seriousness i would think it might be the headlight roller on/off interior dimmer switch.
or upper door pads in some of the rarer colors. and dont forget the Gator grain and Mod Tops material.
Or the Recall wheels...
or the luggage rack...

I'd have to say the upper door pads in perfect shape. They seem to be everywhere, but usually in dry rotted condition. Looks like Just Dashes will be getting $ome money from me in the future.

Right now I am having a difficult time finding a Bendix power brake booster for a 68-70 B-body disc brake car.

If anyone knows of any available, please let me know.  I have attached a photo for reference.

I am also having a tough time finding a Carter AVS 4618 4bbl carburetor.  It is for a '69 440 automatic with no AC.

Same thing, If anyone knows of any available, please let me know.

upper door pads. also i think real good  rust free  front fenders .  the  69 SE wood grain radio bezel for me was the most difficult to locate.

[rare69]

if you really really need the part right away,that is always the hardest part to find!

[41husk]

That is true! I needed the Check mark chrome trim to finish my 68 ended up giving $180 for a pitted piece, one year later Gunslinger comes out with repos @$150 a set Just couldnt run around for a year missing that piece!

                      isn't that  the truth  ,     and when you have finally found it and bought it they seem to be for sale every were after that.

Hi Mike,

Actually, I noticed that they are offering an aftermarket booster that looks close, but I want the original deal.  Ya, ya I know one of them purists.   

I did find another company MBM Brake Boosters http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com/brakebooster.html that show a correct looking Bendix booster to be available in April 2006.  From the looks of the housinig and the description "8" dual diaphragm" it just might be the real deal.  I have not priced it as of yet as I will continue to search for an original unit to get rebuilt.

I am not quite desperate yet.

Thanks for thinking of me.   

[6pkrunner]

There are two actually and they are common to all cars - money and time. Find those and the rest is simple.

[squeakfinder]

NOS quarter panels.

[Brock Samson]

I had a hard time finding the wheel arch stainless, took me about 6 years, and this was of course pre e-bay, pre- internet...
..you dont know how easy you kids have it..  by cracky...

[moparsinbarns]

Well, I have mint top front door panels for my 69 but I cant seem to find the bottom front door panels yet

shame you didn't ask for the hardest ( to not say IMPOSSIBLE ) part for 3rd gens...

73/74 Bumper fillers and headlights grill surrounders fillers

[c5_nc]

Taillight trim for the 69s.  I haven't been able to find it yet, at any condition, any price.

[BigBlockSam]

i had a hell of a time finding a rear licence plate light housing for my 68 r/t.

AMEN to that Nacho.   Hopefully by the time I start actually needing those someone will be repo'ing them.

[Nacho-RT74]

I hope if somebody starts to reproducing will be EXACTLY like originals, not that they just "fit"

an example:
vertical quarter seal repro I got fits prefectly BUT DON'T WORK as they should be. Metallic reinforcemnent is smaller and makes didn't seal with door glass as it should be... beside if you try to close door glass with door closed these seal wrinkles at the bottom and don't seal at that point

[69charger2002]

my short list of hard to find parts, in no particular order or rarity
1. nice fenders
2. upper pads
3. 4 speed console top plate
4. tail panel in good shape
5. AM/FM thumbwheel
6. any radio bezel, but especially woodgrain
7. tach clusters
8. mint hoods, turn signals

I've been wanting some Mod top material to save for the future but i haven't been able to find any.

[MOPARHOUND!]

There is a mod top website, don't have the address.  There is around 17 Barracuda guys that registered their cars there.  I think Legendary still has some of the NOS Blue Mod Top material.
