I'm selling my 1973 Charger. I will be moving soon and could put it in storage but would much rather sell it to someone who can use and appreciate it. I bought it in 2001 out of a field in AZ that it had been sitting in since the mid 80s. It was a white on white 400 ci automatic car with a blue roof and red stripe down the side. Over the years I've had it, everything has been gone over at least once. As you can see from the pictures, the desert sun has taken a toll since it was painted in 2005, and it could use a new paint job. Besides that, it runs great, it starts every time and has zero drips. The rack and pinion also really helps move around a car of this size. The engine has about 3000 miles on it and on a recent trip from Houston to tucson, it got about 20mpg. Please email with questions, as I know I'm missing some details in the description, there is just too much to list. 


Some details of the car:

 

Fiberglass hood and ‘six pack’ scoop

Fiberglass bumpers and bumper supports

Nice shape white vinyl interior (new in 2006)

Custom grill (looks a little like barracuda grill)

71 charger taillights

71 charger headlights

Custom intake with  K&N filter hidden behind headlights

Custom dash from 2008 charger including custom gauges, TV, and vintage air air conditioning system

5.7 hemi from 2005 Chrysler 300 with 5000 miles (entire cooling system and all accessories are from 2005 Chrysler 300 and have been replaced with new components in 2012)

5 speed automatic with overdrive from 2004 dodge ram (Hurst shifter)

2004 dodge ram ECU and custom built wiring harness

Painless wiring harness throughout car

Rack and pinion from 2005 Nissan maxima

Push button start

Cragar chrome 15’’ wheels staggered 8’’wide in rear, 7 in front

BFG white letter tires with plenty of tread

New fuel system including custom tank for fuel injected engine

Flowmaster 40 exhaust system (sounds great)

Polished aluminum components on engine

Metallic blue paint (needs repainting and minor body work)

Optima dry cell battery in trunk

8 3/4 rear end with 4.11 gears (posi-traction also but the posi unit needs rebuilt)

New windshield

Electric life electric windows


Q: So, how did you get the 2008 charger dash in there, and did you have to do any cutting or perm. changes to the interior of the car to make that happen? Do you have the original dash still? Oh, same with the center console. I really couldn't see very well from the pics you had included. Thanks for the help.Aug-20-14
A: The dash actually fit side to side without modification, I did have to cut several inches from the rear, which is covered by the dash cover. The entire metal structure of the 2008 dash is behind it. It was necessary to either do this or a complete custom fiberglass dash in order for the modern steering column, massive amounts of wiring, ecu, electronic gauges, a/c controls, air conditioning system, and TV to fit (the 73 dash was way too small). I also like the console, it is really practical with the cup holders, turn signals-two buttons for on/off by your hand when rested on the arm rest, iPhone/usb cables, and 12v power outlets. Overall everything works really well and looks good but I would say the console and dash should be upholstered by a shop in order to cover all the seams and imperfections to make it really show car quality. I sold the 73 dash when I removed it, considering how much work it would be to ever re-install the old dash with all the new tech. I can post more pics today, thanks for the interest.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.

Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 raises $825,000 for charity

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

$60,000 doesn't strike us as a lot to pay for a muscle car with 707 horsepower on tap. $825,000... now that's a different story. But, according to the official SRT blog, that's how much one generous and eager buyer paid for the privilege of getting his (or her) hands on the very first new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Decked out in Stryker Red paint that's usually reserved for the Viper, the supercharged Challenger bearing the VIN 0001 went up for auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas on Saturday under the auspices of Barrett-Jackson. By the time bidding ended, the gavel dropped at $825,000 - nearly 14 times the sticker price - 100 percent of which will benefit Opportunity Vehicle, a charity that aids the intellectually handicapped in the Las Vegas Area.
