This is a '73 Dodge Charger with a Supercharged 440. It was a lot of fun. I only had it for 20 years.

I  had to sell the car and house about 6 years ago thanks to a divorce. She tried to get me to sell the car from day 2 of our marriage. She finally found a way to make me sell my dream. She is a Lier and a cheeter. Karma is a strange thing, Her's is starting to come around. I will build something again.

Note to my Step kids Andy and Lindsey. I know most stories you have been told, non are true. I'm not perfect, but no one is. You will always be welcome. Miss you.

Now for the important stuff.
This is a list of what I did. Starting in the engine with;a high volume oil pump, balanced the crank to the rods & pistons, fully polished rods, 6.5 to 1 Venola aluminum pistons, ISKY cam, ISKY lifters, ISKY solid pushrods, ISKY adjustable rockers, 3 angle valve seats, machined spring seats for triple valve springs, hardened valve guides, BDS aluminum intake, 6-71 Street Charger Supercharger, 2 Holley 850 DBL pumpers with power valve plugs and other modifications, BDS carb linkage, Mallory unilite distributor, dual Airflow electric fans,
Chrysler 727 transmission, GER 3200 stall converter, reverse manual valve body. Deep pan with temp. sensor.
Cromed Heddman 2" 5 piece racing headers, and 3" exhaust through Sonic turbo mufflers. It had a fantastic deep power sound. Especially while doing a burnout above 3200 rpms. A sound I will never forget. How sweet it was.
My 2 Boys Brandon and Cody tell me at least once a month that they miss the car. I tell them one day we will do another. And next time we will build one together. And have even more fun.

The trunk key hole has been filled and replaced with elec. release. Rear end is from 1968 B body (2 1/2" narrower) with 1969 Hemi springs . That were moved in to the frame rails. Having hopes of installing tubs and wider tires. And frame connectors installed. To keep the frame from twisting.

awesome charger, sad story about how you lost it and hope you are able to build another charger in the future...i am building a 1936 dodge 5 window and doing a blown 440 that i hope will look as good as yours. How much HP did you get out of the 6v71? i'm looking to run a 14-71 and aiming for over 1200hp.
