Great looking car that seems to be in great shape !!

:cheers:

Very similar one on ebay right now.   Only difference seems to be the white top/interior.

I'd seen that one on Ebay this morning also I'm not a fan of white with silver but other than that it looked really nice.

Congrats on having the patience and forethought to have a thorough inspection done before buying that beauty of a '73 Charger!  Cruising this summer will be awesome !  Welcome to the board.
If it was me, I would leave the stock exhaust headers on it and dual-it-out with some nice mufflers and call it even. Have the heads rebuilt and get a 4-bbl carb and intake but, keep it stock-looking. Maybe a mild cam and new lifters but, nothing radical. Drive and enjoy it!  Beautiful Charger.

Thank you I agree on the header part plus the good ones are really expensive.

Very Nice my first Charger was the exact same as yours. Grey all original! Gone but not forgotten. Its what turned me from Ford Stangs to MOPAR!

I've been searching the interent lately because I need to get new weather stripping around the doors and I want to upgrade the seat belts.Any of you have suggestions of websites to look at ?

Be careful to be sure they are 73-74 "SE" as they are not the same as hardtop or 71-2 SE.  BIG difference.

Holy crap!! That's a lot $$$ for some rubber. Didn't realize prices were that high for door seal kits.

2 year Charger SE ONLY, won't fit anything else, that is probably why. I got just the door seals and reused my smaller pieces and save a few bucks. But not a lot.
And *note* it has taken them almost 4 summers in the sun to fit properly.

Thank you for the help and the compliments it's appreciated.
