Doug Meeker also was able to dig up several other parts we needed. He said he'd take $500 for this dashboard assembly complete with gauges even though the marked price was $800. He also had door panels and seatbacks for $10 each. Doug, who works for Raytheon developing things for the military that explode, says he does this for fun: "I love old Mopars, and I like collecting and selling parts at the different shows."

1970 Plymouth Barracuda Valence
Doug Meeker from Reston, Virginia, had a valance in good shape for $75. He also had E-Body door glass on sale for $150. Doug says that the best prices are available on the last day of a show when vendors want to unload as many of their unsold parts as possible. If you wait till Sunday, however, you risk having your parts bought out from under you.

1970 Plymouth Barracuda Core Support
The car's core support was badly munched and the valance was completely gone, likely due to a transporter malfunction, but we managed to find both pieces in good condition a few feet from each other. Mike Divine from Phoenix West Parts out of Fresno, California, had this core support for sale for $175. We didn't haggle, 'cause he looked like he could beat us up and take our lunch money.
