IIRC nobody has Challenger Repro OUTER door handles, just Cuda, which are flat, Challenger have a slight curve to the main body,...NOS may be your only choice, or rechrome, although some use the Cuda door handles in the Challenger, they will leave a gap
We did do the correct Challenger outer door handles.

From the factory there are 3 sets of e-body door handles. 1970 to mid-'71 Barracuda ("convex") 1970 to mid-'71 Challenger ("concave") mid-'71 to '74 e-body ("flat") Just like the side marker lights - exterior door handles became "generic".  $$$

I bought these crapy one's from Jules. He warned me that they were not top notch and would only be good for a driver like my car. Some of his handles are even better than these original restored. Gave me a good deal on them and I can't even find any flaws, I'm very happy with them and they have been on the car 5 years now.   Here's one of my door handles that I was gonna run, just couldn't bolt these on, got mine off Ebay from Jules. Thanks Jules.

Nathan those were not repros. I don't sell repros. Those were originals that I felt were just not up to snuff so I sold them for less. Rayz, there is lots of stuff I don't restore.... lawn mowers, toasters but I did do a boat trailer for my ex boss once.  Jules

I wasnt aware that the originals could be restored?! The repros that you got from jules looks great... But like we all know... theres nothing like OEM 
Those were original door handles that Jules restored with the correct curvature for my 71 car in that gold car above.
I was being goofy when I said crapy because to me they were perfect but Jules did tell me there more for a driver.

I see... Man if those are not "up to par" for Jules.. I'd like to see what is "perfect" in his opinion!! Those handles look great! My originals are in nice rebuildable condition... Cant wait to get em done! I think repops are something to the tune of 140... I questioned the quality due to the price... Seems fairly cheap for such a elaborate looking part (chrome,satin,etc.) Challenger 1 - The handles that you were going to run look like they are the "concave" cuda style?

I am so glad to see that someone takes pride in his work.Some of the repro parts today are good but nothing beats orginal correctly restored parts.https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=Projects&Number=6313383&page=0&fpart=3

Yup they were, probably a replacement handle installed at some point before I bought the car. It wasn't bolted on the car in that picture, so it was a little loose.
