72 Charger SE restoration starts here

Hi All, As some of you guessed my Charger has had fire damage to rear and interior, from dash board forward all looks good and It looks to have been a really nice car pre fire. I have sourced most of the rear end panels new but some parts required are so far being hard to track down , so I wondered if any of you boys might point me in the right direction, I will post an add in the parts wanted section when I have a better idea of what I need but in the meantime I need a trunk lid, the rear panel in front of the trunk lid just below the rear screen, rear metal parcel shelf and maybe a roof and right hand rear chassis section, also my dash has melted so I need a complete rallye style dash with instruments, mine has a rev counter, also interior plastics like seat backs and pillar trims etc, most of the interior I can get re trimmed , so if anyone knows where I can get any of the above please let me know.It is such a shame to see the car in this state and I will post more pics and info on the resto as I said in an earlier post. If any of you guys know of any history of this car I would be keen to here it, So here we go lets get at it ! Best wishes John

Good luck with the restro, nice to see another 3rd gen being saved, it does look good from the front. Big project like my own 73SE although I have rot rather than fire damage

This should be a very interesting thread; I am sure at times you will find it frustrating but I am sure you will get there in the end.

Looking forward to more pictures!

John, does this have a cut down front seat with no headrest one side? If so I know the car, but I may be wrong.

Oooooooo, so it's was a member car.

That's a real shame, I wish the very best for the resto

She looks good from the front and I am sure you will sort the other end out.

Good luck

The very best of luck John getting your third gen Charger back to it's former glory, it's a car I have always had a soft spot for having seen it at various shows in the 1990's, and I would have bought it if I had the dollar at the time.
I'm pretty sure it was long time MoPar owner Stuart Keen's first ever Mope.
Here's a couple of pic's I found from a show at Drayton Manor Park.
