Challenger A/C Dash Vent Inserts

[73restomod]

Ok so I have an A/C car but the dash is missing the Vent Inserts. Anyone know where to find a set, or have some for sale??

I don't have a set but I've bought a bunch and actually got a couple for free at a swap meet this summer. Since I'm not looking for them anymore, I'll tell you the secret. The inserts are the same on other cars such as Chargers and Satellites among others. I have some extras but I'm putting together a good set for my blue dash inserts that I'm going to be selling at some point.

Get the vents from whatever, clean them up good and re-do the trim with a silver paint-pen from the craft store and they'll look great. The key is getting ones where the vanes aren't broken.

Have a look at these. Much cheaper than Cuda/Challenger parts:

Great info, don't overpay for E-body vents, when you can use B-body parts.

"Do we scour the countryside looking for E-Body A/C vents? No. We just go to our local wrecker, and pull the A/C vents from a common 1971-74 B-Body. The vent louvers can be removed by pulling the pins on the outside pivots, then sliding the center pivot to the right and then left to remove them. The vents are a drop-in interchange. Take care not to lose the spring clips, which keep the vents from flopping down."
