1974 Charger SE

[Harlow]

I found a 1974 charger SE, matching numbers engine, 400, column auto, transmission needs to be rebuilt, doesn't run it needs spark plugs and wires. body looks decent, I've only seen pictures of it, and the pictures are pretty bad. From this vague description what would be a good price for this car? I've always wanted a charger and this seems like a pretty good deal, but I'm not sure. I just got my '68 sport satellite this December. Do you think I should just finish up the satellite and then buy a charger or should I jump on this one? The reason I ask is I'm on a limited budget so if I've got two cars its going to be tough.

Put the money toward the Satellite. More than one project has been abandonded due to lack of focus and dedication of money.

73 and 74 SE are usually the most common Chargers to find.  It has a 400 motor, that is one plus.  You cant really put a price on a car like that with no pictures or options though.  Some things to look for that will add to the value would be, a bulge hood, dual exhaust rear valance, bucket seats, sunroof, power windows.  One good thing about the SE cars is that most of them were well optioned and all come with the rallye gauge cluster. 

If its in decent shape and reasonably priced though, a motor/tranny is no big deal.  If you think you can get to it before it rots into the ground, I say pick it up.  They arent getting any cheaper thats for sure.
