In the early 80's I was in the midst of restoring a 70 Dodge Challenger R/T, factory Hemi car that I bought from the original owner. One of the few things that was MIA when I bought the car was the original radiator, p/n 2998956 which came on only Hemi cars or 440's with HD cooling. This was obviously in the days before internet searches, so it was a bit tougher to locate stuff. Finally found a guy in Grand Rapids MI who said he had one. Drove up there from the Chicago suburbs and sure enough he had it. I asked where he got it. He had it left from parting out a Panther Pink 70 Cuda 440-6 convertible because it was kinda rusty. Even then I thought 'wow, that seems like a pretty rare car to part out'.
