1973 Taillights/housings

[74charger07ram]

An S/E is chrome non S/E is argent.

It is real nice but its for an S/E. But thanks for the help.

Is just about sand the chrome off and paint them! Otherwise is the same tail light.

If I wasn't so far. I would get it in a minute!

An S/E is chrome non S/E is argent.

And I dunno why the SEs are blacked out on back side, or that's what I have noticed on some being sold around. Maybe some previous treatment to the chrome job?

 

[Chad Witham]

I emailed him hoping to buy it.

yeap, lenses are everywhere, new and used, but decent housings are hard to come by.
The ones from Marathon are cracked too.

The ones from Greensboro don't have a price. I guess will need to call.

The ones from Norfolk seems to be great, but cracked mounting tabs. I think they could be a bit cheaper.

 

[74charger07ram]

But they are all for S/E cars. I need non S/E.

 

[ODZKing]

Here is a nice one.

all due respect, I guess everyone's definition of nice varies greatly.

 

[Montclaire]

Could these really be that difficult to reproduce? What kills me is that the repop industry will put out products that aren't really needed or are of poor quality or priced sky high for no reason and then claim there is no demand for more.

 

[Paul_G]

When I got my first 73 Charger back around 2005 there was almost nothing reproduced.

Way better than the left housing I currently have so it’s worth it to me.

 

[Chad Witham]

Hardly pristine, you can see the pits in the chrome in the pictures

 

[weaz4200]

Then go buy ones with broken tabs, busted corners, peeling chrome and rusted out sockets.

Definition of Pristine:
