Hello I’m new to the group I’m building a 73 barracuda with my dad he’s had the car since 83. I’ve run into a snag I need a pair of lower trunk hinge support brackets I was quoted $800 for a set of hinges with the brackets on them. My hinges are great shape and just need brackets does anyone have a set they would be interested in selling or could guide me to a more reasonable place to purchase thanks and glad to be a part of the group.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! $800 sounds ridiculous for your parts. If you don’t mind me asking, where were you quoted that price just so I know to never deal with them.

What I’ve found is that the challengers take the hinge and bracket assembly as you’ve shown. The 70 cudas have there own style bracket and hinge and the 71-74 have yet another.
