Title: rear window louvers for a 73 SE
Post by: monty76 on July 25, 2005, 08:24:57 AM
Anybody know of an aftermarket company making rear window louvers that'll fit a 73 SE? I saw in JC Whittney that they have a set for the Challenger 70-74. Any idea if the rear window is the same on both cars?

I have a pretty nice of rear side window louvers from a '73 SE Brougham. Kind of a white color. Interested? My e-mail is djones@crcom.net.

Thanks

Dana

the challenger shouldnt have rear window louvers at all, that has got to be a mistake.  the only place you will find louvers is on forums classifieds, ebay, or swapmeets (junkyards if you find a charger that is).

You are talking about the rear glass not the 1/4 glass right? If you do find it. Be prepared to shell out some big bucks. By the way its differant glass. So it wouldn't work anyway.

Yeah the louvers are for the rear glass, not the quarter windows. I've seen a few Chargers/Challengers with the louvers. Looks kinda neat, I figured the louvers wouldn't cross over. Oh well, worth asking.

You can buy a new project car for the price original louvers go for.

I've seen one set on Ebay years ago, went for 1900. I'll call the fiberglass co that's making me a bulge hood with air grabbber,bolt on($710+s/h) . Maybe they got a form.

I think I was off by $100($810) here is the site, it'll take 6-8 weeks to make

Wow, they're in Bolton ON!  My parents live in the T.O. area and I'm just 5 hrs away.  I was thinking of buying a buldge hood from a US company. Thanks Monty!
