This is our 1973 Dodge Charger SE

This car originally came with a 318 or 400 2 barrel, i am not positive, but all i can say is, I like the upgrade to the 440 :) the previous owner put in the 440 4 barrel, This is an actual original 1970 440 Charger motor and 73 big block hood, they came off of another car, just not original to this car

This is the big block 440, 4 barrel, after running the #'s on the block, we know thta it is a 1970 440 that was a 6 pack, but has been changed to a 4 barrel. It is somewhere near 450 hp and around 500 ft/lbs of torque.

 

this car is FAST!

The back end, you can sort of see the purple pearl in the black paint under the light

-Hideaway headlights, generally a rare option on the 73 because officialy they stopped in 72, since this car was built late 72, it was built with this option, making for one of the few 73's with hideaways

The car outside my uncles shop, the window louver delete option is very obvious form the side view (windows behind doors are exposed)

This was my dad, brother and me out on the road with the car, this thign is FUN! it runs mid 12's in the 1/4 mile making around 450 est hp

This is what I mean by the super stock style leafsprings, it has the extra leaf added behind the axle to help hold the axle straight under hard launches, this came around from the super stock drag racing mopars, i'm not sure if they came factory with this or not, but ours has it either way lol

We needed to get some groceries, ha ha why take the minivan? lol, You can also sort of see the hood pins
