Hi, we just got a '73 Charger SE yesterday. This one is for my wife's DD. It's a 400 with a fair cam in it so we'll see how that goes. Interior is really nice. We need a dash cap and that's about it. It had an electric fuel pump under the hood. Not good. Was running rough and backfiring, got a little better on the 70 mile drive home but we put on a new mechanical and problem solved.
It has a little rust in one side in a quarter panel and a ding from a deer but underneath it looks great. Headers, new exhaust with flowmasters, cragers and BFG t/a's. New radiator, electric fan (she hates that) and pretty clean under the hood overall. Needs shocks. Maybe this spring we'll get the a/c back on but she's been doing ok driving around without it for the last year in her other vehicle so she may want to leave it off. We'll see how global warming goes.
She's wanting a power bulge hood so a little searching here turned up VFN. Looks good so when we get ready to paint (we have a mach 1 and el camino ahead of it) we'll probably swap over.
I know, I know "pictures". I should have grabbed the ones the seller had before he pulled the ad last night. Maybe I can get some today. There's a big orange ball in the sky today. Either winter is breaking or it's some kind of alien invasion.
I was never much of a dodge guy. Always had corvettes when I was younger but I have to say, after driving this thing around yesterday I see the appeal. I'm 6'3 and didn't even have to have the seat all the way back, no tilt wheel but wasn't a problem getting in or out under it. It rides great even though it needs shocks. Handles real good for a BB. I may be coming around......
Looks like a great site so hope to be talking to you all soon. I know I'll have lots of questions.
