Last Saturday I was looking at the local Craigslist auto parts section, and a guy who often advertises a lot of 68 to 70 B body Mopar parts put up a new ad. The ad had about 10 photos, most of what he lists are for Coronet and Road Runner parts. I saw in the background of one of the pictures, what appeared to be a 70 Charger right front fender. So I gave him a call, and sure enough, it was a 70 Charger right front fender! These are getting very hard to come by these days, so I said I would be there in about 40 minutes. I got there and the fender was 95% solid and straight, with no filler on it. I paid a bit more than I wanted to for it,but some times you have to pay for a good part! Anyone else find some hard to find parts,or good parts scores lately?

Yeah, a little over a month ago I got a call from an old friend...extremely low mile '68 340 (kind of gunked up from improper assembly lube, but...), rusty 340 exhaust manifolds, less rusty (but still rusty) '69 B-body big block HP manifolds, and a few other odds and ends with some of it being absolute junk.
More than several years ago same guy's younger brother called me with some parts to get rid of, including a '66 Hemi four speed, rim blow steering wheel, '58 325 hemi industrial heads, and some other cool stuff.
Also got some cool stuff from another guy. I'm working on his '73 340 'cuda and he had some "extra" stuff lying around...

I found a pair of 70 HP exhaust on crailist the other day for $200. I thought that was a good price. It goes with the 70 u code Cuda I bought last year as a project. Rust free Texas car that belonged to bud since 1978 and parked since 1980.

These days, 70 Charger fenders are in the $500,to $750 range and hoods are in the $300 to $600 range. There are people who are asking more than that for them, but I don't actually see them selling for more. Years ago I could buy a usable 70 fender in the $150 to $250 range,then about ten years ago, they crept up to the $250 to $350 range, nowadays they are in the $500 to $750 range as I said before. I have seen people asking crazy money, including a guy on Dodge Charger. com who was asking $3900 for one,and it wasn't even an NOS part! That one will be in his estate sale! Some people think that because the fenders are not being reproduced, that the original fenders that they have are made of gold . I was able to get AMD to make front valance pans for 70 Chargers, I loaned them my NOS front valance pan to template it from,so atleast we have those parts available. They fit good too!

I had a Mopar buddy who sells parts, come over last night to see what was worthwhile for him to re-sell. There are a few things I have that just aren't of value now since so many body parts are available. I have some 70 Challenger front fenders with enough rust areas to make the labor pointless, deck lid. other things. Just going to throw a lot of stuff out now.
