1973 Charger "T/A"

1973 Charger build: Grandma 318 column shift AC car to a 440, 727, 125hp nitrous shot old school muscle car.

About this Mopar:

100% home built old school hot rod by myself and my friend Chris Grace. 1978 440, 727, & 125 shot nitrous. Paint is rustoleum flat and semi-flat, and single stage enamel gloss in the engine bay. 3.55 Sure grip 8-3/4 with dual 2-1/2 exhaust. Bumpers were converted to 71-72 style. The entire car was put together for less than $2k using a lot of left over parts from previous projects including the bumpers and brackets, fenders, hood, engine, driveshaft, and rear glass. Parts bought were a transmission, headers and full exhaust kit, nitro plate kit (added after pictures), schumacher conversion motor mounts, carb, B&M shifter, windshield, and misc. gaskets and installation parts. This was Chris's daily driver which I inherited after his passing, RIP. It has since been updated with an aluminum radiator and gold slapstick shifter and console.
