73 Charger

Postby redgum78 » 09 Dec 2011 10:38

Hey guys,

I have been a bit absent from the board for a bit. I have got another project on the go. It needs minor mechanical work (brakes, suspension, etc). I should have it done and on the road in the next few weeks if all goes to plan.
It's not a Challenger but at least I will have a mopar to cruise in while I continue on the Challenger.

WOW that looks nice! The road wheels are by far my favorite. They look perfect on there.

I like those Chargers. I feel the 68-70 Chargers are overpriced these days.

Agree entirely mate, prefer a lot of proper 70s cars to their 60s ancestors personally,really like the styling and graphic treatment of early 70s stuff :mrgreen:

Thanks for the comments guys.

I agree. Don't get me wrong I like 68-70 chargers but I paid a lot less for this 73 in nice drivable condition than I would have to have paid for a 68-70 that needed another 20k spent on it.
This thing has the original 400 in it and still drives real nice.
I have got to do the brakes, ball joint boots, get the wipers working and a few other little jobs and she will be on the road. There is a bit of rust under the battery tray that needs repair also.

Here is another pic with the kids hanging out of it....they love it!
