Challenger door exterior handles
« on: July 18, 2009 - 09:25:47 PM »
Hey,

A while back I was seeing ads on ebay from a dealer that claimed to have the correct body curve door handles for a challenger (not the ones you can get from the dealer that are cuda/challenger).  These were/are reproduction handles.  I'm trying to find those again and can't seem to locate them.  Anyone know who this was?

Thanks.

I had those marked too but didn't buy them; they fell off my watched list.

There were some earlier threads that listed Dale's Cuda Shop as a source (and in fact: http://www.dalescudashop.com/197074-challenger-door-h197074.html)  I don't know if they sold them on Ebay.

I also found them at Jims Auto Parts, but much higher.

Dales Cuda Shop has their own logo cast on the rear of them so they are making them

Thanks for the tip.  I just emailed them to validate.  The picture they show on the Cuda door handle page is exactly the same as the one on the Challenger page.

I did see them at the http://www.hoffmanswinnerscircle.com booth this weekend at the all Mopar show and drags and they were $90 each.

I just bought mine from the Dales Cuda shop at Carlisle. I haven't installed them yet though.

Just to close the loop, my response from dalescudashop is that they are the different ones.

I still have the originals from my '73 (I got repops from Mopar), if we're talking about the same thing.

I bought my set for my Challenger from" frederickdodge " (that's his ebay I.D.). They fit perfect with the right curves.
