In the heat of the moment, I "forgot" that my Challenger should have the curve in them. I could return them but any-one wanna trade out my brand new Cuda ones for Chally ones? scatcity@aol.com

My car was a very early build 72 car, August 10 of 71 and has a bunch of 71 parts on it. I guess 10 days into production for 72 they were using up all the 71 parts laying around. I hear Jules restores these correct handles...Jules you there? scatcity@aol.com

I could not match their price although mine are triple chrome plated. I could do your set if you wish to keep your originals. Email me. Jules 5354339-challengerhandles(1).jpg (61 downloads)

They were replaced in '72 with the handles that fit both 'cudas & Challengers and were not contoured to the door. I'd also like to add that as far as I know, the door itself was not changed, so If you'd like handles that fit the shape of the door, get the contoured ones. In addition, the 70-71 barracuda handles were curved the other direction. Tav

Just the handles Ma Mopar put on it. 1970 Challenger Convertible soon to be T/A convertible Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.
