After many years of working on cars as a hobby I've found that many of those parts seem to be extras that are not needed. I have many bins full of screws to prove it.

We can call this the SkeeterB Theorem .... The volume of rattle is directly effected by the quanity of absent parts.

I have parts left over from older cars that I have used to fix newer ones.. it is part of the automotive circle of life.

I’m trying to find out the number of total parts for a 1964 Chevelle and 2022 Maverick.

Interesting; my company manufactures aerospace fasteners and we have over 30,000 of our fasteners on every F35 Lightning II. We also sell fasteners to the OEM auto industry and many new cars have about 200 of them. When I get my Mav up on a rack I mught just see the fruits of our labor installed.

Particularly if it's the anti-rattle control chip or possibly the thermo-electric rattle suppressor!
