Hello all!
After a few months of pondering I have decided that My 1974 Dodge charger will be staying in my possession
Now A little history of the car...
It is a numbers matching 1974 Dodge Charger SE brougham. When I first looked at the car, the original owner said it was a big block. Upon further investigation I noticed that the car was U code car. So that lead me under the hood, and after some digging (previous owner got happy with a can of orange paint) i found that the engine was truely a 440. Now the car was given to me, as a donar for my 72 duster, so I thought nothing about if the engine was original. So i was working on taking the engine out, and finally got the passenger exhaust manifold off I noticed I had a clear shot at the engine tag....I noticed a familuar number....69285..I've seen this before i thought to myself....So i scurry up to the Vin, and I again see those numbers...and to my surprise the numbers match...
So then the push was on. Since I already had a Project in the bay, I had to finish that before I could move the chager in. So i quickly pushed the Probe to completion and moved the charger in...
SO it's in now... Since my pictures are too large to post here, I'll have to upload them to imageshack.
