I got my Charger !!!!

['CUDA360]

Christmas came early for Pete today...
I went down to the auctions today and 2 vehicles were on the block.  A '73 Dodge motorhome chassis- 360/727/dana 60 and a '74 Dodge Charger, original 400 car with a 440/727/8 1/4.

I got the motorhome chassis for $37.50. That's $10.00 for the chassis and $27.50 for the document work.

Hope your sitting down for this one

'74 Charger for $52.50. $25.00 for the car and $27.50 for the documents fee.
I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking I got a super nice, rust free B-body but many of the parts are decent and I just can't go wrong with that 440 in there.

PICS TO COME!!!!!

  WOW!!!!!!  Even if it was a parts car, that is worth it.  Post some pics when you can!

[PocketThunder]

What auctions? 
City auction?
Dealer auction?
Police auction?

I check the police auction once in awhile but havent seen anything pop up lately.

[Old Moparz]

Those are my kind of prices, nice score.   

Yeah, what kind of auction was it?

[Charger_Fan]

My kind of prices too! Can't go wrong with that deal.

[Silver R/T]

nice deals! Proves that you still can get good deals out there

['CUDA360]

The auctions I go to are cars impounded from the mini storage places but they are few and far between.
(I've been waiting for 2 months for this one)

The last car I got was a '65 Barracuda and I'm still making money on that one plus I get to keep the parts I want.

I should have the pics this evening.....

Great score, I scan the auctions around here but have not found anything like that. Congratulations!

Well, I went down to the place and hooked up the motorhome chassis up to the trailer

While I was down there I took lots of digipics but something went wrong with my camera.....

Anyway, I will try again tommorow

Not pretty but well worth it

Interior is awesome

no rips, nice gauges,nice carpet, slapstik is intact and works perfectly and a perfect headliner.

The usual crack on the console and cracks in the dashpad

I am sure the best 52.50 you have ever spent.

Plans for it?  Parts, fix what have you?

['CUDA360]

And of course,,, the 440 !!

Dusty but comeplete including electronics, aircleaner and full exhaust

3 rallye wheels are in excellent shape,5 nice tires in the deal   14s though

I'm still trying to decide. I would like to find a nicer body and transfer the good stuff over but I am not sure right now

that is a 74 only option stratocaster

man, 52.50 for a 74 charger.  the parts alone would score a grand easy.  man, what a great catch and score!

It's in real nice shape too !!

In Arizona stuff like that doesn't last so it must have been garaged alot before the accident

[greenpigs]

I was gonna ask if it was a factory 440 car but I noticed the factory 400 post. Still it doesn't look THAT bad. I would clean it up and think about fixing it if that was at all possible. To get it for $50 it deserves to be saved...its a sign man!

[BBMoparFreak]

Wouldn't a factory BB car come w/ an 8 3/4?  Real surprised to see it has an 8 1/4.  NEways, NICE SCORE!!

I think the unloved 9 1/4 rear was the high performance rear for '74 and I don't ever remember seeing a
8 3/4 in a '74 but maybe they came that way..
Think of a '74 Charger SE as a good looking '75 Cordoba. It's the same car with smaller bumpers. The 400 really couldn't hurt the 8 1/4 rears and the squishy isolated front suspension made the car more of a cruiser then a track monster

I always thought '72 was the last year for 8 3/4 B-bodies but I'm sure you guys would know better then me 

[RallyeMike]

The 440 cars came with 8-3/4's.   Not sure about 400/727, 360 and under in general, but the 400 4-speeds I've seen came with 8-3/4's as well.
