That charger is worth more than 1500.00.  That thing looks sweet.  SE I believe.  I am not familiar with those tail lights either.  Are those different than the usual SE 73? 
  Welcome aboard!!  Hope all goes well in the sand pit!

That's right 'Cuda Hunter, the charger is an SE, and have not seen many 73 or 74 chargers with these tailights, but I have seen these tailights on 71 RTs.

Welcome aboard David, Looks like your Barracuda is running, what are your plans to do to her?

What am I going to do with her???    :dunno:That my friends has been a tough question  .... Amazingly my car runs and I got tell you that it has a strong 340 in it.   I started taking my car apart around February but due to my deployment, I had to put it back together; I mean the fenders, seats, grille, etc.. Good thing I did not start removing any engine bay components. Hey I have to mention that in the process I found the two broadcast sheets for my car 

At the biginning I wanted to restore it, I thought being a Gb5 with Black Vinyl top would not be a bad combo. But then I realized how much money I had to spend on parts and how much would the car be worth after restoration..... So I thought that with all that money spent on parts I could built a 70 or 71 Cuda out of my 73, I just love those square tailights. What do you guys think?? I'll probably get nailed on this one huh. I like how the 73 looks, and I have seen some really nice ones here in this website.

Dude, its your car, make it how you want it. everyone here does. we either customize it to our liking or make them factory, as they like them. The point is enjoy it. What color are you thinking in the end? Engine Mods? Rear end? hood? etc....

You're right Drew To be honest I like either Top Banana Yellow or Sassy grass green, with a Black vinyl top, black hokey stripes. Heck I even like that pink panther, which is really rare to see. Hey at some point I thought about this car for a while:

You ask what do we think.....as most state, your car, do what you want but here are a few thoughts. Being a '73 it will never have the value of the 70-71 and even though these models have some different styling most of it comes down to personal preference. The cost to change the appearance to an earlier model will be significant & in the end you will still have a '73 so IMO unless these things would have to be replaced anyway, esp. tail panel & grille, the cost may become prohibitive......
       Have fun with it & don't worry about what everyone else thinks, your the one that should be satisfied.
