69 500 Part Numbers List?

[RallyeMike]

I'm going to go over my 500 soon and see what major parts are original on the car and what is not. Before I go through the trouble of putting together a list of correct numbers, I wonder if there is anything existing out there?

The car is a 440/727/AC/PW car with 8-3/4 axle.

I'll look in my parts book, but can't remember it discussing / illustrating C500's. I know there's a Daytona illustration.

Specific things for the C500 that I can recall off the top of my head:

'68 grille/headlamp bezels - Coronet
500 nameplate on grille (1ea.)
Charger nameplate (believe it's from a '68 Charger)
support attach brackets (8ea)
vertical attach brackets (2ea)
fender fillers (2ea)
modified headlamp buckets (2ea.) - basically '68 Coronet part. I'll see about the part number. I have a NOS version at home for one side
modified hood release lever
windshield deflectors (2ea.)
back glass plug (welded in place)
back glass trim
modified decklid
special decklid hinge arms (2ea.)
bolts holding decklid to hinge arms (4ea.)
500 nameplate on rear taillamp panel (1ea.)

It goes without saying the VIN and data tag reflect the A11 XX29 designation

The cutting of the vacuum lines for the original Charger headlamp doors (sometimes by the battery, other times flush with the firewall,,, just depends on the day I guess.)

Regarding the rest of the car, standard Charger R/T stuff.....

modified hood release lever

bolts holding decklid to hinge arms (4ea.)

Never really thought about the hood release lever, but makes sense.

Regarding bolts - the bolts holding the 500 grille mounts in place look unusual too. I seem to be missing one bracket, but I also do not see a hole drilled for where it would bolt in (?).

That's what I was trying to get a handle on. What parts on the car right now are correct? So far verified the carb, radiator, and ex manifolds. The distributor has been swapped out for electronic. I have some resource data, but certainly not enough. I may ping you for info.

Thanks.

Just a side note here, but I have yet to see an unrestored 500 that has the vacuum lines cut at the firewall. Not saying it didn't happen but I haven't seen one like that other than on restored cars. All of the "survivor" 500's I have looked at had them going at least to the rad core support and all still had the canister under the battery tray. Now once the cars have been taken apart to be restored there is a whole heck of a lot of them that get the hoses cut right at the firewall.

interesting

Sounds interesting but if I'm being totally straightforward I have only seen 9 "survivor" 500's. So its not like its a huge sample. I can also say that there is another C500 owner who told me his vacuum lines were all of the way out to the rad support until he cut them off flush at the firewall.

My 500 had a regular Charger grille in it when I got, it got poped in the nose at one time . - The guy I got it from told me everything was still there to hook the hideaway lites back up.
