73 challenger custom • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum just recently posting. I have viewed this for awhile and you guys sure no your stuff. Kinda cool seeing this many MOPARS not in some junk heap somewhere. This is my first challenger jusr arrived from California, I can say the wait for arrival was agonizing, but now it is finally home where it will be enjoyed tremendously.

The car is a 73 original 340, 6 pack was added
balanced and blue printed
original 4 speed
I think in 73 it would have had power steering, but I think it was removed

Thanks.

did they make 73 model challengers without power steering?

I know panther pink was not a option color in 73, but hey My wife loves it plus it is hard not to see this thing coming at you on the road.

Power steering was a $105.40 option in ´73, so the answer is YES.

Cool ride! :thumbsup:

I like the stripe on the hood. Non-factory stripes often look so so, but I do like this one.

You could get phanter pink as a special order paint in 73
My 73 Challenger Rallye was phanter pink with white vinyl top from factory

Panther pink was only a standard color in 1970 for about 6 months. I think as far as a special order color from then on you could get all of them i.e sublime,go mango etc. It stands out in a crowd among other cars and gets attention because of it's color.

Thank you. had any problems with your six pack?

No. None at all. They're 3 years old this Oct.
They came from Summit racing out of Ohio.
So far, so good.
