Just the facts, ma'am
Bizzare, Don't know where "That's it gonna do some reading came from.. maybe lastnight when I was signing off.
That's thing with it being around Englishtown. Maybe he is or bought out one of the old timers and that's how he claims since '75. I bought a column reverse light pin from a guy right around there... too early to think of his name..have it on a card.
Remember now, it was Jack's. His brother ran a parallel business under the same name. One did old school like Hemmings, and the brother did web type sales.
He has a hoard of nos distribs that were in a building that went on fire, going to get a list from him.
That is where I got the NOS tail light stuff for Dave's '66. He is NOT cheap.

NOS never is...
Good morning
wish that list was searchable, i need the outer headlight trim for the polara.
and for good reason imho
Had way over a grand in those tail lights for sure. Morning
If you want the best available, you pay for it. After all money is made every day, these parts are not.
yep. trust me, If I had a car i was doing original restoration on, it would have as many NOS parts as I could find on it.
On my 66 Charger, I spent years hunting down NOS stuff. In the days when the Internet was in its infancy. LOTS of phone calls, and trips ...

Ouch, but yeh, I can believe that.Had way over a grand in those tail lights for sure. Morning
Are the 66 pot metal like most tail light bezels? That and the lenses...
I know NOS Duster taillights (if you can find them) bring stupid money. If trying to do 100point resto the repops don't cut it and pot metal restoration is often sketchy at best. I was only looking for good used 'drivers' and they almost all have bad pitting.

But at least there were more parts available then. The internet is a double edge sword. It makes the parts available, so they end up on cars quicker than they would and the supply disappears faster...
Yep, '66 tail lights are made of Mopars favorite stuff, Pot metal! My re finisher was GREAT!! But even then I had to go thru a few parts to get the end result. Dave has a few extra parts, NOS or perfect refinished, and some NOS lens.
And '66 Chargers are the least popular Charger and not many people are restoring them. That helped.
same with the 74 dart tail lamps. They're not reproduced and the bezels are always pitted or studs broken off.
I want a 1st gen charger. I know where a couple are. but they are beyond rough
Ouch that's a ton on lights for sure.
see
The pitting, you drill out the "cancer" the pits. You can silver solder the holes you drilled out. Lots of copper plate, buff, re plate copper, till it is smooth. Then the nickel/chrome
Some usable parts on those for sure.
I wont tell anyone how much I spent on the lowly '66 Dart. Just Say Dave got a smokin deal! Looking at it, it is tough to see where the money was spent
Not really I noticed a ton of stuff on it.
I think that's Frank Mitchell's old place. Or maybe not. He passed away. Bought some NOS from him. Not cheap but he had the goods. I think Frank had only Mopar unless this place bought him out.
RIP Frank Mitchell
