matching original driveline. It has original build sheet and fender
tag. The SE is the top trim level. This one is optioned out real
well with a big block, a/c and more.
EXTERIOR: The original paint actually looked great from 1-2 feet
away, it just had some age cracks and nicks. So it was stripped to

windows. The original vinyl top is excellent. The original glass is
crystal clear. Original weatherstrips are good. Options include

grain trim is mint. All the gauges, bezels, knobs, vents are
excellent. The original AM-FM radio works. Original cigarette
lighter is there, inside the glovebox looks new. The steering

Tim Wellborn says the 1973-74 Chargers are some of the best drivers
of that era. We have an appraisal from him stating it "all
original, #s matching, rust free Charger", "original interior is
perfect".
These well cared for survivors are very hard to come by. Typically
they function better than a restored car, this is an example of
that. The next owner should be very pleased.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a

showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
