fewer SE cars in 73 than non

Hmm, I dont have the numbers in front of me but im 99% sure the SEs far outnumber the non-SEs in '73.   :scratchchin:

Actually heres the #s from the Dodge Charger Registry.  They sound about right. 

Total unit production 1973: WL21 - 11,995, WH23 - 45,415, WP29 - 61,908

You are correct that was a typo there were a bunch more SE cars than non and with the possible hood swap that might have been a Rallye car.

Got it home this weekend.
It does have a 727 trans with an 8-3/4 rear end.
The 400 has had a lot of work that I didn't know about.
It has been vatted and inspected, crank turned 10/10 and bored 30 over.
It has all new pistons, rings, rod and main bearings.
I got a brand new intake and a set of head studs, valve job, a complete set of gaskets, and a trunk full of extra parts. :2thumbs:

Sorry about the date stamp, I changed batteries and forgot to reset it.

Oooooh thats a coupe isnt it?  I bet the VIN starts with WL21.

Charger1973

Yep a coupe.  My first 73 was also a WL21.  Its the cheapest model but also the least common.  I like the door panels because they have black cloth rather than the woodgrain.  Notice there is no woodgrain in the whole car, its all black or silver and the rear windows dont roll down, they are bolted in place.

Does yours have the rubber floormat rather than carpet?  Im not sure if they all do, but mine did, and it was hell on the floors.  They were fairly rusty from the rubber holding moisture.

This is what mine looked like.

The right front grill looks like there is damage , But it's just the pic.
They are in excellent shape.
That was the reason I bought it, OH and all the other stuff :smilielol:

The floor is black carpet but has rubber molded in just below the gas and brake pedel.

Charger1973

Thats cool.  Mine was ALL rubber.  I also had a 68 Coronet that was the same way.  First 2 mopars I ever owned...  I was starting to wonder if they ever put carpet in them.   ;)

Score!

There's a green 73 charger that has been sitting in this storage place that Id like to take a look sometime. I remember seeing when I was about 5, there used to be a faded blue 68 charger with white stripes and white vinyl top sitting next to it but that disappeared eventually. Maybe it'll be the next "700 bucks and a pack a beer project" lol.

TruckDriver

$2000. maybe $2,500. cause it isn't anything special. And consitering my '72 S.E. was in about the same shape when I sold it, the highest offer I got was $2000., and mine had more options. And that was with about a $1000. in parts I also tossed in. :P
