* Online Classifieds and Forums: Websites like eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and dedicated classic car forums (like those for Mopars) are good places to start. Search specifically for "1974 Dodge Dart Swinger fenders" or even broader terms like "1974 Dodge Dart parts." Be prepared to search regularly, as inventory changes frequently.
* Classic Car Parts Suppliers: Several companies specialize in parts for classic cars. You'll likely need to contact them directly or check their online catalogs. Some larger suppliers may have used fenders or may know of others who do.
* Junkyards and Salvage Yards: This is a more labor-intensive option, but you might find a usable fender in a salvage yard that specializes in older vehicles. Calling around to several yards in your area or beyond might be necessary.
* Restoration Parts Suppliers: Some companies specialize in restoring classic cars and may have access to NOS (New Old Stock) or reproduction fenders, though these are often more expensive.
* Specify Your Needs: When searching, be sure to specify if you need left or right, and whether you need a fender in good, fair, or poor condition. This will help narrow your search and manage your expectations regarding price.
Important Considerations:
* Condition: Expect to pay more for fenders in better condition. Rust is a common problem with older cars, so carefully examine any photos or descriptions.
* Shipping Costs: Shipping large parts like fenders can be expensive, so factor that into your budget.
* Patience: Finding the right fenders may take time and effort. Don't get discouraged if you don't find them immediately.
Good luck with your search! Finding parts for older cars often requires persistence.
