I know this doesn't answer your question but have you considered going with a silver sport transmission tkx 5 speed? I considered a gear vendors unit for myu 727 until I saw a conversion kit. This was 5 years ago but I got a full auto conversion kit for around $5,500 on my 72. You would likely...

This is what prompted me to ask the value question. I am good with paying a realistic fair price but I don't want to "overpay" for the post barn-find if it's going to cost me the same to restore it. For instance, I found this 73 RR "GTX" on facebook marketplace and really want to like it. But...

Then you have the 68-70 guys who are vocal about not liking anything 71 and beyond, haha. While they may not have the "cool" factor of the earlier models, I have always loved the 73-74's. If I were to get another one, I would get one with the intention of building a nicer driver. I have...

I am not sure if the 73 is different than the 72 though but here is a link to the one I purchased back in 2020. This took all of the guess work out and was plug and play. BAC No Cut Steering Box Coupler - Bergman Auto Craft

I had one on my 72 and loved it. If I remember correctly, I think you will also need a bergman coupler as well if you don't wan't to cut the steering shaft. To me, it was worth the extra to go that route. I originally had firm feel rebuild my original for but it leaked out of the box and they...

I may be over exaggerating some but the 72 is a one year only on some body panels (fenders and quarter marker locations plus the unobtanium grill and rear swar bar perch) that made it harder for me. Most everything that say 68-72 are for the earlier b bodies and 71-74 e-bodies (at least that was...

Your thread is actually got me back in love with 73 again (not your suffering but the car itself) I went through the restoration pains on my 72 so I know exactly what you are going through. Your thread is also why I wanted to buy a project vs finished because you never know how the restoration...

Hey all, My first car was a 73 RoadRunner and I am potentially looking at trying to find one after the holidays as a project. If I could find my old one I would but she is long gone and it needed a ton as it was. I know that prices are all over the place depending on condition and what someone...

Project creep has officially set in. Good luck! I love your car btw!

Tell them you are towing a 2004 Chevy Malibu or something like that. I have had issues with them in the past. I know that those trailers can handle a heavy car as I towed my Roadrunner 200 miles on one.

I can't speak to their current quality but I purchased PUI 9 years ago on my 72 and I thought the quality was good. After seeing someone else's car with a legendary interior (in person), the look and feel was noticeably better in my opinion and felt more like an oem product. I wasn't unhappy...

I really liked his movies. There sure seems to be a lot famous people passing away recently.

That's a really nice looking Dodge Charger Continental.

I want to say I bought that exact set and had issues with any of them fitting correctly over the center link and not working. I live close to summit so I ended up going there and buying the tool below. It worked perfectly and is better adjustable to any car size...

I watched your thread as you built it and hate to see you sell it. I get it though, I sold my 72 as well and you just have to move on to other things. You did a fantastic job on her! If I was in the market I would be all over this one.
