See any issues with this 1973 Charger?

I'd go for the blue car.  IMO it looks better, and its not an SE, as I prefer hardtops.

how hard would it be to change out that dash to a rallye style cluster? I hate that speedo setup.

I think the entire dash has to come out, and the harness has to be changed.  I know Matt (charger1973) has done it. 

No, just cluster itself and underdash harness. Matt removed for comfortably, beside he removed twice to replace dash pad and change the color on second time.

how much $$$ was it? How hard was it? How long did it take?

he had parts cars.

Rallye clusert... with clock are around $200. sometimes you find with harness maybe on $250 rate. Just harness, maybe $100 ( used ). So think you'll get that change in NO LESS than $300 with clock. Without clock they go cheaper. With tach... IF you find, maybe JUST the cluster will go on $300 $350 rate.

For blue upgrade, harness NEEDS TO BE 74

Also depends if you get 150 or 120 speedo, cut or not radio area.

How long does take the change ? if yoy do removing complete dash frame what IMHO would it be the best... 2 or 3 hours

My report about Gold one:

-Bad patch on front quarter area what makes disalignment on door AND probably fender... then probably hood looks also wrongly aligned because that.
maybe wasn't patched and is a factory fail

-missed rear extension quarter moldings

-Missed radiator return bottle

-Missed fan shroud

-damaged hood hinges... but is not that weird after 34 years

-Door panels begin to be chalky

-Sail panel vinyl just need to be reglued.

-Dash pad bubbling

I personally do, but that's mainly for two reasons- 1) the color and 2) the matching numbers drivetrain. How do the prices stack up between the two?

gold car- $19k
blue car- $18k

And on a similar Engine displacement specs and similar conditions car... never would put an SE over a Hardtop. Hardtop is a good candidate for a great rallye clone if you don't care about cloning.

Beside that, Blue one has A/C, tuff wheel. Am/Fm Probably Stereo radio. ( Gold one is mono for sure with rr speaker ). Nice cooling and Alt upgrade, beside engine upgrades stated by seller. Engine bay is mostly complete.

Gold one... I like more the gold interior, but that's only a personal issue. Also likes a lot the pedal dress package, but easy to add. Bezels are available.

I like better 74 because seatbelts comfortably. I like safety, sorry and I feel naked or incomplete without my seatbelt

Anyway, I think both are SLIGHTLY overpriced.
