Vehicle Description
Here's a sharp looking Mopar muscle car in all of its glory. This
1973 Dodge Charger SE absolutely radiates vintage appeal and still
features its original colors both inside and out. It's been armed
with an ultra-coveted big block engine most synonymous with Dodge
performance during its era that's been recently rebuilt while
enhanced with some well chose aftermarket components and is running
at its best.
Long and angular, with a sharply inclined front windshield, this
Charger looks like a predator even when sitting among its muscle
car brethren. Its bronze metallic paint is really nice, with a
great shine and consistent reflection wherever you look. The
contrasting black vinyl top is a defining styling element for the
Chargers of this era and the one here is fresh and well fitted,
with no peeling or bubbling in sight. As the vinyl gives way to the
rear roofline, a trio of vent-shaped windows and a Dodge emblem on
each side give this Charger a style all its own. A new-looking
front air dam sits just under the front grille which houses the
flip up headlights that are controlled by a switch. There's a power
bulge hood with vinyl graphics and 440 callouts and the spoiler
mounted on the deck lid is in great shape. The exterior alignment
on this Dodge classic appears very precise even from up close - the
doors are surrounded by tight, uniform gaps and as you trace the
trim running the lengths of its sides you'll notice how even it is
as it transitions from fender to door to quarter panel.
The interior has been well kept and has seen some refurbishing over
the years while still retaining its factory configuration. Both the
front buckets and rear bench seats are sporting fairly new vinyl
covers, judging from their well-fitted, creaseless appearance. The
dash area is a definite strong suit on this '73 - the factory
gauges in the cluster are all clear and easily readable and the pad
running across the top shows no cracking at all. A pair of
aftermarket displays have been added to keep tabs on fuel and
vacuum levels while just below them, the clean center console
offers up another signature Dodge styling element - a bona fide
pistol grip shifter. The light tan carpeting lining the floor is
also in good shape and features a pair of contrasting Dodge-branded
floor mats in front. The trunk area appears to be very solid and
even with a full size spare waiting inside there's all kinds of
room on hand.
Raise the hood and you'll find the most sought after Dodge big
block of its era - the 440 cubic inch engine. It's been armed with
a Holley 4-barrel carb, Edelbrock heads and an Edelbrock intake
manifold to up its already considerable output even further, and an
MSD coil and ignition wires have been added to maximize spark. The
throttle response on this Charger is impressive as it pairs with a
3-speed automatic Torqueflite transmission and the deep roar
emanating from the long tube headers leading out to its 3" dual
exhaust will serve ample notice of your arrival. The looks of the
engine compartment are very much on a par with the power its
harboring - there's a nicely badged chrome air cleaner, as well as
a chrome alternator and modern R134a A/C compressor. With traction
bars mounted in back, maximum power hits the pavement through a 8
3/4 Sure Grip rear end with 3.23 gears, while power steering and
power disc brakes at all four corners make this Dodge an easy
navigator with plenty of stopping ability as it cruises on its set
of 15" stock wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich T/A radials.
With its freshly rebuilt big block power and outstanding curb
appeal, this 1973 Dodge Charger SE is a definite "must see". Call
