Finding a 70 Charger hood.

[ACUDANUT]

Old Moparz..."who bought the doors from the car for $7.35 & he wasn't interested"....You sold a pair of Charger doors for 7.35 ??

And why not 7.34, give the guy a bit of a deal you know?

Funny, I parted a '70 Charger in the early 80's & had trouble "giving" things away from it. I sold parts at the Mopars at Englishtown swap meet the first 4 or 5 years they had it, & the '70 stuff was the most difficult to sell. Everything went dirt cheap except the hood which didn't sell. It was absolutely mint with no dents, no dings & no rust, & I had ZERO interest in it for the $30 I was asking. I even tried to talk this guy into taking it for free who bought the doors from the car for $7.35 & he wasn't interested. 

I still have it & now glad that I couldn't sell it since it'll end up on my Daytona replica.

I like that term daytona REPLICA

This guy had looked at the doors a few times that weekend, but never haggled on the price, just looked. I had something like $35 written on the clean one & $10 on the dented one. I said to him to make an offer on them, but he never did. By the end of the day on Sunday, he was with a friend & pointing to the doors.

I said, "Come on, just make an offer, you know you want them."

He said, "I'm tapped out, I spent almost everything I had on other parts."

I looked at his friend & said, "Lend your buddy some cash so he can buy the doors."

His reply was, "I'm broke too, all I have is is $5 & some change."

I then asked the guy who wanted them, "How much you have left?"

He pulled out a single dollar & some change & his friend pulled out change so they could prove they were broke. I told them, "Add up what you have in your hands & I'll take it."

They laughed, then added up $7.35 between them. Then I laughed & said "SOLD!" & watched them hump two doors with hardware & glass across the acres of asphalt.   

And why not 7.34, give the guy a bit of a deal you know?

Screw that, I want every last penny.

Yeah, I never liked the tern "clone" used for a car, it should be reserved for sheep.

How about a Daytona tribute

I can't take credit on the hood work. Brothers own/operate a bodyshop goin on over 30 years, so it is a professional at work not me in my tool shop at night lol.

I made a post in the vendors section for guys in the northeast needed resto work.

Thanks for the honesty.  They do a good job.

The 7.35 story is a good one.    I like the term replica too and it used to get used a lot before clone became popular.  It seems like now that clone has a negative connotation they want to use tribute but there are some who are going with replica again.

Sandblasting, cutting,priming, sanding is what i stick too. I did make and weld in 1 patch on the torsionbar member just for giggles.

If I found another '70 hood for only $100 I'd celebrate by putting a bucket seat next to it like Stuart did, then sit in it with a cold beer & relax.      

[6pkrtse]

Wow, I have two of them. I guess I better hang on to them. Might be worth something someday. LOL. I am not in this hobby for the money. It is for the love of Mopars.
