SOLD 1973 Charger

[challenger6pak]

Progress. The county plan is to put a road through where my home stands soon. I have over 30 years of parts and cars to go through. I am starting with this car. I was going to rebuild it for my daughter. This car has rust. It is rebuildable. Pretty much every panel needs attention. It runs. I has a 318 4 bbl from a Diplomat police car. It also has the heavy duty 727 from the same car. It has dual exhaust, disc brakes and sway bars front and rear. It is a factory bucket seat car with the slapstick on console. It is an A/C car with power steering. It’s worth $1,500 or a little more in parts. I don’t want to part it. I would like to see someone put it back on the road. It is located in South Florida. I am asking $1,500 firm for it. I can be reached by PM on the site.
Thanks.

Some progress.

When I bought my place I was far away from town. There was a house behind mine and then a neighborhood street. The neighborhood street is now 2 lanes wide each direction. It is going to get larger. The neighborhood is old and has been let go. In the last 6 months 2 Meth houses have been shut down. One burned. It's time to go.

I don't blame you, I think I would get out to. It also looks like you have a lot of your precious metal right out in the open too.

Is the county buying your property ?

 

[challenger6pak]

It is in the works. The proposal I heard is a year and a half. I have a 1000 sq. ft. building that is floor to ceiling with parts. A year and a half is not long. The cars that are outside are parts cars. The good stuff is in another building.

 

[challenger6pak]

I have a lot of 71 R/T Charger parts that I am going to sell also.

 

[DetMatt1]

Damn I want to come down and see your stash!

Do you have the doors with the indents?

 

[challenger6pak]

I sold the doors. That is the only R/T only parts I don't have anymore. I have the hood. They go for $2,000. I also have the rallye instrument cluster with tach, the R/T tail lights, and the hideaway head lights. The tail lights and headlights are in the bumpers and will be sold with the bumpers.

DetMatt, I don't know what I have. I have to go through everything and will sell things as I get to them. I have done the old Mopars all of my life. It's time to retire to just a few.

 

[DetMatt1]

I'll keep an eye on your posts. Is your hood an N96 unit?

 

[challenger6pak]

No. It is the hardest one to find. Some call it a shark fin hood and others call it a cheese grater hood.

 

[DetMatt1]

I've had a couple of those but when I needed an N96 hood that was like looking for hens teeth!

 

[challenger6pak]

Now a kit is sold to convert the flat hood to a ram air hood. From the factory, this hood made the gen 3 Charger the first Charger and maybe the only factory built Charger to have a fresh air hood. Why people overall don't seem to like the third gen Chargers is beyond me. They were a B body that had the best of everything.

'73 Charger was my first Mopar. The third gen. Charger's are really starting to come up in popularity. You should sell it with know problem. I always liked that body style too. Good Luck downsizing and with retirement.

 

[challenger6pak]

R4, I'm not too far away from you. I am in West Palm Beach. I am working on going to the Garlits show and the Turkey Rod Run.

They handle better than the previous generations and I do like them just not as much as previous generation. The '68s are my favorite.

 

[R4Sedan]

Yes, I have been going to Gartlit's since the first year and have even Vended a few times. You could certainly unload quit a bit their,it's always a good show. I have never been to Turkey Rod Run,but always wanted to go.

 

[challenger6pak]

No doubt we have met in person sometime.

The overhang on the gen 3 front fender is pretty equal to the rear fender overhang. I think that is part of what people don't like visually on the cars.
