054 new radiators on e bay ?

[Ghoste]

Wow, maybe it's just been too long since I had to shop for a rad?  I still think that unless I was trying to do a numbers match A12 or Hemi car, that sort of thing, I'd still get whatever aftermarket I could.  I can't picture a 1200 cooler in front of my old non matching 383, you know what I mean?

While on the radiator subject......

Got to the local parts store and try to buy a 26" radiator for your Charger. Modine quit stocking their good 26" radiator #374 for $325, which had some semblance to the mopar factory radiator. Just hung up with the guy at Napa, and he says he can "special order" it for $435 + freight + taxes.

The guy at Glen Rey at one time said a blank (no numbers) version of the factory radiator was being considered, with a $500 price tag being kicked around.

Thats what I have/had an original Modine I got new about 4 years ago.  Cost $300 IIRC

PS---shameless plug.....   Get it while the gettin's good!

  Here's a thought, forget the correct radiators and just worry about keeping the engine cool...If someone has that kind of time and money to make "correct" radiators, they need to sit down and realize 1)  It can only be original once anyway...2) the radiator has already been invented. 3) Maybe I (they) should make rear quarters for 71-72 Chargers.  YA,YA

I agree. So if you get a bunch of repo parts and get numbers to look like factory it is original....i think not.  I could see maybe 400. for one and In the long run you would get your money back. Try to do a quick recoup or get rich thing could backfire.

I do agree that the price makes you pay attention but what doesn't when it comes to these cars and hard to find parts...$1,000 grills, consoles, and fenders are the norm now. I doubt that the guy making these had any intentions of trying to sell a "limited" production # part to people that are not concerned with numbers or originality. That is were the Autozone, Modine, or the aluminum radiator guys win out on volume.  Expecting these to sell for less than a recore at your local shop is not going to happen IMO.

Let us know when you have them available.

#1 - I take it your car has absolutely no repop parts on it ?
#2 - Point is ?
#3 - Like thats gonna happen

Does anybody make a 22"  aluminum radiator that is even a little close to the original look? I just don't care for the polished aluminum look. But, you can't beat aluminum"s cooling ability.

as far as supply and demand, this particular one did not sell......no bids

well, after reading the entire post, i couldnt help myself. i had to go look at what is in my charger. i know its not original. the number is 3574605. what do you guys think its out of?

[tan top]

i think it is a  good part to reproduce  , saves a lot of time looking the correct part # ( nothing wrong with this way)  looks a quality product ,  a lot of money though    but  it is a brand new part HMmmm...
