What single Charger part do you have the most of?

[bull]

Just curious what other people here collect when it comes to Charger parts. I, for some reason, have collected several black 13-inch arm rests. Though I don't have a ton of them I do have at least enough good ones for four Chargers (and no I don't want to sell any). I think I have so many because I've seen some of the aftermarket ones and I'm paranoid I won't have some good ones when the time comes so every once in a while I'll buy another used pair off Ebay just in case.

This is about parts, not cars, so Travis's Charger collection doesn't count.

Anyway, whatcha got?

[Ghoste]

I never set out to collect them but I seem to have a good stash of 66-67 grilles and associated hardware.

[Mike DC]

Rust flakes. 

[472 R/T SE]

For whatever reason I started collecting instrument clusters when I was still working.  I honestly don't know how many I have, maybe 20.  I think you knew that already Curtis.

Also a few kick panels & a pillar pieces.  I hear ya' on the arm rest pieces.  The only thing similar on the repros is the shape. 

I was buying stuff off ebay every pay check when I still worked, needed it or not.  What I really miss is going out to the Boring U Pull It buying more junk I may never use.

not a collection of parts story but

but was having a lookie at  a rotted 69 xp 318 charger one weekend for any goodies... well looked at the Grill    mint like a NOS piece    ... only needed the  I piece for mine , but asked the guy how much ...he said  $65.. the whole grill assembly complete !!  was getting dark , so said would go back next week  ... as i did not think it would sell , as according to the yards owner , no body has picked any parts of the car for some time ...  well went back the following sunday ..you guessed it gone  ....  this was a bout 20 years ago ...  not that much of a biggie as the hemmings was full of charger stuff .... this was before the internet of course ,  but over the last  years ... its haunting me now  that i did not go back sooner  or put a deposit on the grill 
sorry for the sort of hijack ..but  best to buy things when you see them , you never know when they will come in handy/need them   

or far too expensive 

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Since I shoot for one extra part for each existing part on the car, I'd have to say a pair of 1970 906 heads. 

[Ghoste]

tan top you raise an interesting point.  My buddy and I rent a shop and a storage bay on the same property but the owner wants the storage bay back for his own use so we've been "evicted" from it.  We were standing around last night trying to figure out how to maximize space in the shop and started talking about all the "junk" we could throw out.  As we talked, we began to realize that it wasn't that easy.  We don't have a U-Pull around here anymore so things that should have been thrown out a long time ago are now viable spares even if it's just as temporary or emergency use

[tan top]

yep Ghoste  ....... not a good idea to throw anything now .... &  from what i have seen on here & on mopars  more & more junk yards are clearing out ..at least the older cars .... ..won't get any better now with this latest cash for cluncker crap  that i have been reading about on   various sites

[Troy]

Dome lights. I needed two but I bet I bought at least one at very show I went to for about three years. Of course, I forgot what else was on my list every time but I knew I needed a dome light...

I knew you had a few clusters, I didn't know you had 20. That's a pretty good collection.

Funny you mention the Boring U-Pull-it because I know I've gotten at least 8 or so front and rear arm rests there. A few of them I already sold but I know I have at least two rear arm rests still from that place.

[Todd Wilson]

71-72 grills

[squeakfinder]

It seems anytime that I've bought one of those bulk lots off feebay I wind up with another hinge for a 2nd gen glovebox door  .

[500hp_440]

fog lights and a ton of extra bolts

[triple_green]

I have 14 of these in primo condition...

[1969chargerrtse]

  Wow.  Me?  I got nuttin ( multiple ) .  To new in the hobby I guess.
I would like to add though, I have one friend with 4 car bays of 2nd gen Charger parts.  And another friend with a hidden 4,000 square ft shed/barn filled with Mopars and parts.  Me? I got nuttin.

[A383Wing]

The second half of those above are on the shelf...not hung up

Same exact story except I did get the grill out of a 68 Charger about 20 years ago for $75.  Thing was cherry.  Even came with about a foot of each fender still attached.  The yard owner torched the grill out and crushed the rest.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

I have 14 of these in primo condition...

That reminds me, I have a nice set of those.

[SFRT]

I have 5 extra 69 tailights and 2 complete sets of 440 pulleys. 1 entire extra grill plus support ,pods and headlights. I figure if I ever get hit, thats one replacement nightmare out of the way. I still dont know why I have all those extra tailights.

[Brock Samson]

I got three NOS DAYTONA noses and Five Wings,..

no,.. not really but I wish...

NOT mine....

[six-tee-nine]

Hey I don't have lots of stuff in multiple numbers... but since alot of guys seem to have a hard time finding parts, I'm kinda proud to say I have 2 complete 69 grilles.
I also have 2 left doors for a 69, too bad one is badly cracked, but hey I tend to keep it, who knows what maybe the future brings.....

[ChargerSG]

69 Fenders in non saving condition(have 4 of those), and 10 seatsback for 70 charger frontseats

[Silver R/T]

Probably gas filler cap bezel. I have old one on the car and then I bought new one and forgot about it. Afterwards I bought another one. It's alright as when car is done I'll be selling every extra part.

[Back N Black]

Not too much here. I hunt down parts and sell, to fund this endless money pit.

[Rolling_Thunder]

ummmm     lets see....       I would have to say HP manifolds...    I have 5 sets...               

[A383Wing]

ummmm     lets see....       I would have to say HP manifolds...    I have 5 sets...               

If you are interested in selling a set...I have a possible buyer....PM me yer contact info and I will pass it along to him if ya want to sell a set

[lilwendal]

I've managed to round up a few 2nd gen rallye clusters....50 or so

[Charger-Bodie]

I've managed to round up a few 2nd gen rallye clusters....50 or so

And they look perfect when Mikes done with them!!

[Ghoste]

No fair, you collect them to restore and sell, most of the rest of these posts are just parts we've rat hoarded away over the years. 

[jb666]

I've got something none of you guys have... 398 lbs of pure Bondo  , in chunks.. Be jealous all you want, but it's mine, all mine

[Belgium R/T -68]

I've managed to round up a few 2nd gen rallye clusters....50 or so

And they look perfect when Mikes done with them!!

Have one laying here for my car.

[BROCK]

I somehow started collecting 3rd gen rallye tach clusters.  3 plus others with clock.
3 sets of 69 taillights.  Not winning any prizes - but glad to have spares of many
popular parts for my cars!

[greenpigs]

Two sets of tail lights for a 69 and a set of 516 & 906 heads, and a few other things but nothing like some of the piles of parts like some have.

[moparjohn]

Power window switches and 69 Taillights

[Charger_Fan]

I've got three '70 headlight door motors...nope, I ain't sellin' any.

[dpm68]

Rust flakes.

DANG, I WAS GONNA SAY THAT.

[slamooo]

I have two of all most any thing you could take off of a 1969 newport drop top.As for my 73 charger 2 sets of doors, grills,taillights, and nos marker and turn signal lights.along with some other parts that are stashed in box's that I should go and start writing down so I stop buying the same stuff. :scratchchin:But if it has to be one part I have the most of, it would be the magnum 500 style wheels in 14" all redone 6 pair.

[Mopar440+6]

Probably '68 taillights and I haven't actually bought any. Between buying the three Chargers and horsetrading parts somehow I've ended up with about 8 or 10 pairs. Oh well, I'll take the best pair for my car, keep an extra pair in storage and sell the rest...

[69charger2002]

i think the things i have the most of are 68 and 69-70 taillights, i probably have 10 sets of each.. then kick panels. i swear i have 50 kick panels. will never use any probably.

[bzabodyn]

I have like 12 original redline dog dish hubcaps - and I still don't have 4 good one's for my spare wheels!  Plan on running radials and keeping the original wheels/hubcaps and NOS redline bias-ply tires on the rack saved for shows and getting some Diamondback redline radial tires for driving duties...

[69_500]

Not sure any more on what I have the most of. I used to have way way way too many 69 Grille's laying around in the attic. Took care of that problem last year. I'd probably say 14" and 15" assorted rims. There is probably 45 of them in the attic and the majority of them still have old polyglass tires mounted on them. Every time I went somewhere to pull parts if the car still had the spare on the rim in the trunk i'd pull it out and buy it. Other than that, not a whole lot of anything. I have 3 sets of sun visors for a 69 Charger all in white.

[69bronzeT5]

I have tons of armrests and headlights and rings.

[bill440rt]

NOT mine....

Damn, where were ya when I needed tail lights??? 

[Chad L. Magee]

Good question to pose.  Not counting my keeper parts for specific projects that I have, I would say either second gen. doors (five pairs) or trunk lids (seven).  I am really bad about keeping extra spares just incase I may need them for a new project.....

[500hp_440]

i think the things i have the most of are 68 and 69-70 taillights, i probably have 10 sets of each.. then kick panels. i swear i have 50 kick panels. will never use any probably.

selling any of those tail lights?

[500hp_440]

fog lights about 15 (no idea why he gave me so many)
and 4 master cylinders for breaks (1 with a booster, 1 with out, 1 i just bought, and i think 1 more)

[mikepmcs]

charger fog lights or am i missing a joke?

[mikepmcs]

Are you referring to the lights that are positioned in the front valance?

[500hp_440]

Are you referring to the lights that are positioned in the front valance?

yes i have about 6 of those

[mikepmcs]

Turn signals. Although they are on when the lights are on.
If they are in good condition hang on to at least 3 complete sets of them.  Getting hard to find in really good shape.  Check out the price for repop ones.

[KS71owner]

When I first got my Charger, the guy who sold it to us threw in a couple extra sets of 3rd gen grilles, en extra pair of doors and various odds and ends. I sold what was in decent shape and tossed the rest. About the only spare parts I have now is an extra set of door glass I picked up for free about 10 years ago. After having my driver broken into and stereo and about 100 CDs stolen I've learned the value of keeping extra door glass around.

[bill440rt]

I'm about in the same boat as Back N Black.

I'm knee deep in this Charger I nicknamed "Project '69". I had a nice sized stash o' parts, still got some good stuff, but needed to sell stuff to keep the project going. Right now, the engine is at the machinist and I've started budgeting for the trans. It never ends!

Currently I have some nice side glass, a couple sets of kick panels, vent windows, glove box doors, tail lights, etc.
And, oh yeah, grille stuff!! Most grille stuff I'm keeping, but there's other grille stuff I'm still looking to get rid of.

[oldgold69]

i have two cases of shocks       got them  when my aunt was cleaning out her parts warehouse and mailed a skid of parts

[bill440rt]

Just thought of something else: inside chrome door handles for the passenger's side. I don't know why, but I have a bunch of these things. But, only for the passenger side. 
Anyone need some? They're in nice shape, too.

[Leonidas Rex]

Tail lights, wiring harnesses (6 or 7 sets) and 440 cylinder heads (516s, 915s, 906s, 346s and 452s). I had about 7 440 blocks and 11 big block 727s but am down to 2 each!
