The rarest E body part
« on: April 09, 2006 - 02:45:52 PM »
Well, I think now I know what the rarest E body part is. It's a manual choke bracket that bolts onto the rear carb on a 71 Carter Hemi AFB. This is what the cable bolts onto to operate the manual choke. It's so rare, I don't even have a good picture of what they look like. I'd hate to hear how much it might go for as I need one. I know that there are other super rare parts out there also. So what do you feel is the rarest part not being reproduced for a E body? Any others?

Real Shaker hoods seem to be bringing big :money:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Correct disc brake metering valves for 70-71 cars are fun to find.

Air breather bases for 340-4, 383-4 and 426 1970-71 Challengers with the N94 ( T/A ) hood are exeptionally rare.

Try to find a nice 70 console, or the lower left dash trim piece on a 70.  :22yikes: Those 70 only parts are few and faaar between.

I used to have a complete street hemi intake and carbs and linkage. I don't even remember what I did with it. :eek4: That was 27 years ago. Oh, I also bought a brand new hemi short block in the crate for 800.00. :banghead: I traded the new short block for a race-ready superstock hemi.  :crying:

The front hood trim piece for the 71 R/T. It wraps under the hood and is secured from underneath. All the others attach to the front of the hood for 70 and 71.

No pic and no phone #.....



Yeah, I was a little skeptic too on this ad. Just wanted to reflect what you wrote earlier though.

 :roflsmiley: Sorry, but I couldn't resist....
I think that part was so hard to find for you guys CNN was going to do a story.  :lol2:

Hmmm, for me, probably 1970 1/4 panel and trunk moldings before they were being reproduced.  :banghead:
Then it would be repro parts that actually fit correctly..........
