I decided to list this car after looking at what's being offerred MOPAR lovers on ebay...High priced nice cars that most can't afford or low quality projects you can't afford to restore...SURPRISE !!! Here's a really nice car you can afford... Took "OUTSTANDING" award in World of Wheels conservitive hardtop 02/07/10. Was built to drive NOT show but does show well & won't embarrass you. This is one of those rare cars that looks better when you see it than it does in the pictures !!! This 1973 Challenger was treated to a recent quality restoration. The body is all steel, arrow straight with very nice panel fit. It was completely stripped to down to the bare metal. The paint was refinished to an excellent high quality base/clear urethane, no nicks, dings, chips, or bubbling ANYWHERE. . There are new chrome bumpers and trim, the gorgeous painted striping was added, and front grill is excellent, windshield is tinted & glass is all good. The interior has been mostly redone and is in good condition thru-out. The engine compartment is very nicely detailed . The chassis is awesome one the best rock solid. Two small spots of the floor were removed, double patched with metal top & bottom, & undercoated. Trunk is detailed as well , but no spare or jack. The Mechanicals; The heart of this 1973 Challenger is its freshly rebuilt, highly modified 440 V8 with the SIX PACK that cranks out about 500 horse power. 727 automatic & 2:76 highway gears delivers great gas mileage on the highway. Heads are 906 , date codes are 6 1 7 and 05 17 7. They were hot tanked, media blasted, bowl ported & polished, 3 angle valve job with hardened exhaust seats for unleaded fuel. New 2.14 1.81 valves Heavy springs compliment the new COMP hydraulic flat tappet cam with the following specs...valve lift .507/.510, duration lift 284/296, heads were machined for positive valve seal & new seals installed...new locks & retainers..milled .010 & intake side corrected...block is a 1968 , vatted, new cam bearings, plugged & pressure tested ..bored .030 over, new pistons, rings, rods etc. Full dual exhaust system. This Challenger has had all systems completely gone thru mechanically and everything was either rebuilt or replaced. it is totally road proven and is driven , not trailered. This is a very sweet quality hi-performance muscle-car that runs and drives as good as new but with a tad MO POWER. This is one the finest 1973 Challengers you will find that is an absolute dream to behold. Overall; Let the pictures speak for themselves but, believe me, they do NOT do the car justice....it is BEAUTIFUL !!!. This 1973 Challenger is a true legendary iconic muscle car that is highly sought after by collectors worldwide. A Mopar enthusiast’s dream that will always retain its value and is an appreciating investment! It will give its new owner years of great pride in ownership, enjoyment and total satisfaction. This car will make its new owner a lot of new friends and your old friends and neighbors jealous. Thank you for your sincere interest! 50 pictures available Bruce Austin 806 787 4742
