Thanks for the add. Back in 1980, my Father gave me my first car. It was a 73 charger SE with 400/727 that didn’t run. I bought my Chilton’s manual and got it on the road….and then the speed bug hit. Sourced a 69 440 and enjoyed it for awhile. Pulled it, rebuilt it and enjoyed every single HP of the 425hp. Sold it to a friend who pulled the drivetrain and put it in his 72 Challenger.

Fast forward and I am now 60. Just bought a 73 Charger SE with a well massaged 383, bored .40 over. Indy heads, nice cam, forged crank, double timing chain, double sprung valves, HO oil pump, electric fuel pump and 3:73 sure grip.

Overall nice condition with enough little thing for me to occupy myself over the next bunch of weekends.

If you can't live in the past, bring the past to you. Sounds like you've done just that! Nice acquisition!
And greetings! Welcome to FBBO from NY!

I'd post a video so we can all enjoy some BB rumble and Lope but don't think I can.

Very similar story to mine, though with a Charger rather than a Coronet! Welcome!
