How sorted is your Charger?

I bought mine as a turn-key and it runs so nice (+everything works as it should) that I stress myself out trying to keep it that way.

They've become like jet fighters, there is two hours of maintenance for each hour of flight time.  Come to think of it, the ads in 68 did refer to it as a mach 2 jet on wheels.

Mostly reliable and trustworthy. Street legal by state standards. I still have to correct the following:

1. Replace brake booster  (have to pull it up off the floor with my toe when I use the brakes)
2. Fuel gauge inop, temp gauge squirelly... standard cluster bad circuit board ( going to wire in a Rallye cluster)
3. Hide-a-way headlights doors not wired up to light switch (going to build a harness this weekend)
4. No defrost during rain so windshield gets foggy ( need to buy a new fan speed switch)

I didn't think mine was reliable, but then it made a 2000 mile one way trip without an issue.

Mines been pretty reliable over the years. I have driven it 750 miles one way to a car show a few years ago so I guess I have lots of confidence in it 

She runs good and gets me where i need to be, and love every minute behind the wheel !

My base model charger that my Dad purchased new in 1974 and gave to in 1981 has been a great car. Very reliable. I have enjoyed owning the car my whole life. The 74 Charger SE I recently purchased has a bunch of problems and every time I spend a little more time with the car and try to solve something I find more things that need attention. I think it depends on what kind of life the car has had over the years. A well maintained car I would drive anywhere with as much confidence as I would have in any late model car.

Not quite sorted yet.  While it "should" start as soon as I put gas in and hook up a battery, I wouldn't trust it very far until I got confidence back in its ability to drive around.  It will get to that stage soon enough, have to get brake fluid to all the hubs still and make sure MC still works.  It hasn't moved since i put new brakes on it.  (and brake lines, and fuel lines)

Of course I've got to get the even less sorted dodge stealth started to  get the charger out of the back yard garage.
