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.
