    Thanks for the video. My brand new 1973 Charger SE Brougham was a luxury coupe.... on a teacher's budget. ;) Don't know about opera windows on a muscle car with opera windows. I still love chrome. Have fun.

    Actually finding a good candidate restoration at a sane price is proving to be very challenging, I too am looking for a 3rd generation charger. You got a straight body, solid frame, with engine/tranny for just $2500. You did in fact get a fantastic deal.

    Beautiful car! I have a 74 charger that I've had for 2 years. 727 trans with a 360. Thinking about a 440 as well or rebuild the engine as a stroker. I'm in fire school right now so it's been on the back burner lol. But can't wait to seriously work on it again. Great video and thanks for the advice and tips!

    I have been working on my 73 for years. Everything except the break pedal has been off. Kind of stuck on the wiring. I have new distributor but not sure what to delete. Good job on the car.

    I learned to have the front end higher. If you bottom out. You mess up the front end alignment.... I had a 71 charger with a 400 ci.

    I’m glad you didn’t wrap the bumpers in gold, it looks much much better all black! The gold would have ruined the look!

    Nice work on your ride sounds mean…looking for one up in Minnesota, hard to find one up here. Everything so rusty.

      Thanks for the comments , you may have to expand your search to other states and pull it back. That is what I did, and just because you see rust inspect it. Like this car it was only surface rust so I easily removed that. You could find a gold mine with a little extra work that others have overlooked.

      Im from Canada few hundred miles north of yah. I use to buy my 71-74 Chargers here in the mid 80s for $200-500. 5 in total...with no floors and rusted 1/4s. Snow and Salted roads ate these in a matter of 10 yrs. I budget built them and flipped them for around $1500. Usually 318 cars but put 440s in a couple from 78 Police interceptors. Great job on budget builds. I think I will find me another

    Change the differential fluid. You’ve already done everything else.
