    Richard, looks like they only need cleaning up and perhaps greased on the back side.    Before I would pay someone $60 bucks or so I would buy new old stock for about $170.    Nothing beats new original....

    I purchased these as they had they right numbers and curve for the chally. I looked for NOS but they all have been the universal fit for Cudas and Challys which will leave the gap at the top.

    Thanks for the info . I just talked with Jules and I will be sending out my handles to be refurbished. Sine I'm doing a ground up resto I want them to be just right. A little on the pricey side but he will re-chrome them and replace the rubber components.

    Thanks again

    Trop,

    Did you know that Mopar Performance Parts sells new door handles for Challys and Cudas.  At $85 each I would say that would be the way to go unless you are going for total originality.  Just my two cents...  Ed

    I am looking to keep the original items on the car and from what I understand the new handles do not folllow the curves of the body like the original ones and you will be left with a gap at the top of the handle. The ones that fit the Cuda and Challengers will not fit corretly which is why I needed the handles specific to the 70.
    If I could not have found the originals ,your right that is the way I could go
    Thanks

    $310.00 which includes shipping Dis-assemble replacement of worn parts( rubber ppieces etc) I know its alot of cash but I want them to fit the car. I had one broken handle on the passenger side and found this pair on e-bay for  about $100.00
