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

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.

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
