As to myself, I am a (68) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, I am retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback that is at 100% with (1,195) transactions. Many of my transactions have been muscle/classic cars, which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada, England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Australia and the Netherlands. My reputation for honesty is well known amongst muscle car lovers. Just some quick history on the 1973 Dodge Charger. Though it wasn't as handsome as the second-generation Charger, the third one had a look that was impressive in its own way. But this is the Charger that had to face down encroaching emissions and safety regulations, and those left it emasculated by the time it left production. But at least it was robust at the start. Changes were minor for 1973; the front grille was updated slightly and there was a new roofline visible around the quarter windows. In the back were new taillights, featuring 22 individual lenses. All two-door intermediate models were considered Chargers. For 1973, Dodge offered the Charger as a coupe, a hardtop coupe, or as an SE hardtop coupe version. The Dodge Charger was produced from 1966 through 1978, 1983 through 1987, and again beginning in 2006. Since its inception, the impressive performance and stylish bodies made the Charger an instant success. During its introductory year, 37,344 examples were produced. Dodge produced over 119,300 Dodge Chargers for 1973. The SE was the most popular of the body styles You can see a video here: Copy of IMG 4749 - YouTube Video will open in a new window Using the eBay App?
