73 Charger and a quick introduction

[Travis_216]

I never introduced myself on here but made a few posts and have been looking around a lot. But I'm 20 years old from St. John's Newfoundland Canada, I work at Constantine's engine and performance so I'm learning a lot there 

Between me and my dad we have two 73 chargers. His is done but he gave it to me to use because I'm restoring mine. He doesn't really drive the car anymore, so I took over  It's viper red, white interior, se brougham, there's a 440 in it now but it was originally a 340 car. We still have the 340 matching numbers engine and 904 though, anyways here are a few pictures of the car from last summer.





Enjoy!

Welcome to the site, I also have a 73 I'm restoring. I live in Nova Scotia. Hard to find parts around here for these cars. Good luck, wish I had a charger like that when I was 20, nice car!

Nice car. I love the 71 front grill.

Nice car. I love the 71 front grill.

That's actually a '72 grille not '71.  but I agree, It looks very nice!

Thanks for the compliments everybody!  Yeah it's great having the car at my age, but he knows how much the car means to me, I take really good care of the car, and I don't abuse it. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs so he doesn't mind me having the car.

very nice ride

The other one is a 73 as well, 400/727, B5 blue car with blue interior and white top, power windows and those goodies. I'm taking my time restoring it so I can do it right. I'm still debating on what engine to build for it, I have two 400 blocks here now but I'm not sure if I'm going 505 or 512. I'm putting the new year one rallye wheels on it as well.

I'm ordering some goodies for the red one now this week to wake up the 440 a bit.
- Lunati Voodoo 268/276 cam (Thanks Ron )
- Johnson lifters
- Comp springs
- Comp magnum timing chain and gear
- Mancini racing chrome moly pushrods
- Edelbrock performer RPM intake manifold
- Holley street avenger 770 or Proform 750 street series still haven't decided yet
- Rebuilding my 8 3/4 with 3.55's or 3.91's still deciding
- TCI street fighter converter 3000-3400 stall
- Pypes 2.5" exhaust with X pipe, no mufflers. Putting Hooker aero chambers mufflers on it
- Firecore ignition setup
- Port and polishing my heads and 1.81 ex valves/2.14 int valves

Hopefully I will get 425hp out of this setup

Hey bud. Great to see a fellow Newfie Charger owner on here. I have a 70 R/T 440, 727 numbers matching EW1 Charger myself. Currently living in Bay Roberts. There are a few of us around!

Awesome, do you have the car out much? I'd love to see that car! My name is Travis Thorne, my father is Ainslie. I'm living in St. John's.

It feels like the snow is taking forever to melt  We certainly did get hammered with it, about a week ago we got hammered with it bad. But it's starting to melt now!

St. John's is in Newfoundland Canada

Beauty of a car. 

My bro-in-law used to have a red and black '73.  I don't remember it looking that nice.
