I don't believe those parts are being reproduced. Fleebay or a wanted ad here are probably your best bets. BTW, Cuda, Challenger and Challenger S.E. are all different.
My name is Steve and I'm addicted to Challengers...

I think Barracuda trim is just different because its a different bodyline. The difference between the base Challenger and the SE trim is width. The SE trim is wider.

And different length since it sits in a different location on the car.

True Different body lines on a Challenger.

I will keep my eyes open for some for you.

And you also need the vinyl end trim pieces (2) down at the bottom of the windshield pillars.

They're different if it's an S/E car, too.

The vinyl top trim is the same right?.......just the rear window trim is different.

No, SE top trim is wider. Its 3/4" instead of 1/2"
Not too easy to find I would think either.

 Geez I had a 70 R/T S/E 440 a long time ago too, that I may still have the vinyl top trim to it  :hyper:
Still have the rear window+ insert lying around too.

Can someone post some pics of the trim? I have some trim parts for a vinyl top that I don't know what model they are for (challenger or barracuda). If someone can post some pics, I'll know what I have - which I'll then post up on the for sale section for free - as in I don't wan't any money for it free.
I'm sure someone can use it.
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....

 Line it up on your Barracuda, if it doesn't fit, it's for a Challenger  :poopoke: :roflsmiley:

 Here's a few pics that you could maybe match them up to  :thumbsup:
