I looked at one a few months ago,that was advertised on Craigslist,it was a b5 blue Superbee matching numbers car,with white vynal top and C stripes. The guy wanted $2200.00 for the car. The ad said needs interior,but when I looked at the car I found out why it needed interior,it was burned out of the car. Some kids torched the car,outside the shop he had it parked at. It needed all the normal rust repair,they usually need,plus the fire damage repaired. AMD makes the roof skin the car needed,but without rear quarterpanels being reproduced,I couldn't take on a project like that. The tops of the rear quarterpanels were all heat warped,and rusted,so the skins wouldn't work on that car. It wolud have been a cool car done. I won't buy one until I know the sheetmetal is available. I had the chance to buy a very rusty 70 Coronet R/T. The seller had a right side NOS rear quarterpanel,that he was selling with the car. I wish I would have grabbed that car now,I would have been able to offer AMD a rear quarterpanel to template from. If one of you guys have a panel for AMD to template it from,give AMD a call,this would really increase the Chances of AMD making the panel. 70 Charger R/T SE 472 Hemi 70 Charger R/T convertible 70 Charger R/T V Code Sixpack 69 Charger R/T SE Sunroofcar 68 Charger 383 68 Charger 318 71 Charger R/T 70 Challenger convertible 71 Challenger convertible 71 Cuda 340 09 Challenger R/T Classic

I was checking AMDs site the other day, and they are looking to make quarters for 67-69 barracudas,66-67 belvederes,gtx,satellites, and 63-65 dodge and plymouth b-bodies. I never would have thought they would do the 66-67 bodies, but apparently enough people ask for them. Granted it covers two years, which helps. They did make the 70 road runner quarters which is only one year. I guess what I am saying is keep hounding them and see what happens. I personally would love to see them make them. I might want a 70 super bee one day. Jamey

Really the only differences are the side scoop and the rear flange for the extension and side marker opening. I am no expert in the tool making/stamping industry but one would think that with modern CNC systems etc that a large portion of the R&D would already be in place for the 70 panels.They use the same wheel houses,trunk extensions and match to the same doors, window openings, deck panels etc. Even the laser cutting would be 90 percent the same or more as the 68-69 panels they already make. In fact a 70 Plymouth 1/4 is more different than a 68-69 Plymouth 1/4. Come on AMD we need these panels. Please!!!!!

They would be required to make completely new tooling for 70 coronets. Its not like changing the marker light locations on a 68-69. But they are needed!

Scott I have an original paint 68 and an original paint 70. I have the cars side by side and they have the same sharpness and profiles. AMD tells me they have customers buying the 69 panels and modifying them for 1970 cars. That may work but is is less than ideal. I have measured 68 and 70 panels for comparison and the 70 is actually a bit shorter at the rear only because of the extension difference.

That's the long hard way... Your better off patching the rust areas... Usually the lower quarter is gone both from the end of the rocker panel back to the wheelhouse as well as the back of the wheel house to the trunk. In addition, the rear windshield corner is almost always toast, especially on vinyl top cars. Some non vinyl top cars seem to have rear w/s corner intact if not rusted slightly...meaning if you ar e looking for donor piece seek out non-vinyl top cars... So if you have a 70 coronet with these issues on the quarter panel, your not alone... But all you can do is cut up the 69 piece and splice. Granted a few years ago you did not have this option, you did have the lower patch panels, but the deal breaker was the rear windshield corner. Now with the patches you "can" do it... you do have legitimate patch panels. But understand.. By the time you put on those 3 patches on you will have spent more time than if you replaced the whole panel... and you had to purchase a whole panel to do this as well... If your going to patch, the only thing I can say is...you better be really good with your butt-weld splices... otherwise you'll end up with a mess especially on the rear w/s corner... It can be done... but you could save yourself the torture and just replace it... IF AMD WOULD ONLY MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!

They're from out west but not perfect, and would require quite a few hours of metal finishing and minor rust repair. Disregarding what I already have into them, figuring time and materials, I think I would be much further ahead if I could just hang brand new quarters. If AMD made them available I would definately buy a pair, along with a pair of trunk extensions, and a pair of outer wheelhouses. But I won't despair if they never come to market because I have a backup.

See their reply below. If everyone on this board started bombarding them with phone call and emails, maybe their current position could be swayed. Quote: Paul, We don't have any plans for the 70 Coronet quarters. These could be a future project, but nothing in development at this time. Thanks for your interest!

I have a decent used set too, but brand new parts are so much easier to work with. I figure the time saved would cover the cost of buying new.
