Be aware the 73 Challenger had a 2 speed wiper motor as well as a variable speed wiper motor available. You probably want to go with what you have for linkage. The insets and console plate are available as reproductions as far as I know.

New ones for console are available. Used ones are cheaper but usually not as nice.
If you have the door panel inserts and just need the woodgrain see this:
ME1041 - 1970-74 Dodge Challenger; Door Panel Woodgrain Insert Set; RH and LH; Pair

If you need the metal insert, just not the woodgrain material, there's several sets on ebay for sale. Search 1970-74 Challenger door panel woodgrain inserts if no one has them on here. Used bring $160 and up for a pair.

I just wanted to make you aware that the fratzoid has to be removed to apply a new wood grain. I have not done that before, and the pot metal emblem is pressed and peened on the backside.
Careful trimming of the spread metal, but leaving a post to apply some JB weld to the back? IDK?
Or re-peen the remaining post
Just wanted to inform you.

See, parts you need are being listed by the owners on here. Just let them know whether you need a 2 speed or a variable speed wiper motor now and they can set you up.
