New additions...

[Charger1973]

I got my new 73 projects home today.   I have a couple parts cars coming too, but they will be a while, they are in a building that has a snowdrift over the top of the roof. 

The green SE is a 318 car.  Its all original but the motor is locked up and has been sitting for a long time.  Id like to keep it, but I dont really need that many projects...  My brother wants to buy it from me, but if that doesnt work out, I will end up keeping it. 

The brown car has a 400 motor that hadnt ran in a year or so, but I put a little gas in the carb and it fired up. Its sounded great too.  The gas tank was completely empty because it has a hole in it so the first thing i get to do is replace that.  Its going to be my driver until my purple car gets finished.  I cant wait for summer now   








The driveway looks a little full now...

If you count the parts cars...  6 

[Charger1973]

One of the parts cars was a 40,000 mile original car (the 400/727 from this car is now in the brown car).  The owners kid took it out one night when they were gone and wrecked the front end on it.  The guy I bought it from got the title but never transferred it since it was wrecked, so this is still the original title from when they bought it new in 1973.   Pretty cool to see.  Mileage - 2

Congradulations!!! You must be soo excited. I love the black one! 6 3rd gens. I envy you.I have 5 3rd gen(Firebirds) in my driveway. 1 3rd Gen Charger. 

[Charger1973]

I am.  I actually just got inside, I spent the entire day out in the driveway if that tells you anything.   

[Wheels of Terror]

I'll be doing that tomorrow. Mine is coming home to Fla.

[mikesbbody]

great finds! btw how's your brother getting along with his charger?

[Charger1973]

Well it wont be his unless he pays for it.  Right now, its being used as parts storage until it gets warm enough for me to feel like cleaning it out.   

[mikesbbody]

im sure he ill come up with the $ he seemed pretty stoked on the whole idea if not then you keep it i suppose?

[Charger1973]

Yeah if he doesnt want it I will keep it for a future project.

[Charger1973]

My progress of the last 2 days.  I have it almost ready to drive.  I just have to fix the leak in the gas tank tomorrow.  I put some gas in the carb though and it fired right up... man she sounds good.       With any luck i'll be able to take it for a test drive tomorrow.

It is amazing on how strong these old Mopars run.    

[Charger1973]

Thought you guys might like to see these I took today, I couldnt deal with the brown anymore...  so I decided it would look better in primer.  Its just a driver right now, and I dont want to have to drive around in a spotted car once I start the bodywork.     I also added R/T taillights and a dual exhaust valance       Im making progress.  Seems slow, but I guess I have only had the car for 12 days now..  so I guess its moving along pretty well.  I even had it out on the road the other day.  The drivetrain in it is from the wrecked SE and only has around 40,000 miles in it, she runs strong.

Also I checked the green SE and those are the original floor mats.  They have a mopar logo and part number on the bottom.

Looks nice man.  Thanks for saving one, it's one more on the road where they need to belong
