This Charger came from the factory, loaded with options. It still retains its original numbers matching 400 High Performance (HP) motor as well as it's original transmission. The Charger also retains its original fender tag, door sticker, and VIN tag. As you will see located below, this was an original Red car with a White vinyl top, White stripe, and White interior. Here is a break down of the fender tag:

Body: The body on the Charger is not suffering from all of the typical sheet metal rust. For example, the Vinly top did not wreak havoc on the roof of the car. The roof is completely solid. Surprisingly, the trunk is also completely solid. The reason why this is so surprising is because the deck lid appeared to have been open for quite some time. The entire trunk was filled with parts as well as years of leaves and outdoor debris. Once I got it home and cleaned out, I was pretty amazed that the inner wheel housing and trunk were just completely solid. The front and rear frame rails are also solid as are the doors, rockers, top sides of the quarters, tail panel, and rear valance. The fenders are also very solid with the exception of some minor pin holes. I would definitely save them. The worst areas of the Charger exist within the lower quarters and the floors. I believe the quarters you could get away with using patch panels but the floors will definitely need replaced as will the drivers side toe board. The stainless through out the Charger seems to be in great shape. All of the glass through out the Charger is also in great condition. The tail lights and both front grill pieces are in excellent condition. The Charger sits on what I believe are the original Rallys. They too are in excellent condition.

Engine & Mechanical: I do have the original motor which is complete and was said to be fully operational when it was pulled. The reason it was pulled was for a professionally built 440 which I do have as well but I am not including it within this auction. If you have an interest in discussing the 440, just give me a shout. Along with the original 400 comes its 727. Which it too was said to be fully functional as well and was hooked up with the 440. The 727 was rebuilt and was said to have the same mileage on it as the 440 ("less than 200 miles"). I am missing the original AC setup as well as the radiator. What you see within the photos below, that is all that I have for the Charger.

Interior: The interior is mostly complete minus the carpet and the original bucket seats. I do have the ability to buy a set of correct 73 Charger buckets so if this is something you would like to have, just let me know, This auction is for the car with out the buckets. The original center console is in great condition as is its trim plate. The original back seat does come with the Charger. The instrument panel, all of the electrical, dash, door panels, none of it seems like it has ever been messed with. I don't believe any of it has ever been molested.

The motor and transmission are in the car and ready to be shipped. I have over 100 photos of this Charger so please feel free to ask if you would like to see more of it. I do have a clear title for this Charger. I'm asking 3,200. I am located just outside of Kansas City, Mo.
