1973 Dodge Challenger 440 V8 & TKO 600 transmission Description:
This '73 Challenger started life as basic 318 V8 powered car with air conditioning, 727 automatic transmission and pale gold paint. At some point in it's life it became a drag racer with a '72 440 CI engine, all A/C components removed from the engine bay (although, strangely, intact inside the car) and fiberglass nose and front fenders. The car has a very good interior, reskinned seats and new carpet. The paint is Plum Crazy with 1972 R/T stripes. Factory 15 inch rallye wheels. Optional factory 'race' fuel filler flip cap added. Starts and runs fine, but not super refined. If you are looking for a silent, Cadillac ride, this may not be what you are looking for. I've lowered the asking price slightly, but this is removing some of the negotiating room.
Since I got the car I've installed the following:
â¦new cast aluminum valve covers (existing Edelbrock performer intake manifold)
â¦Edelbrock performer carburetor with new fuel lines (replacing a Demon 850)
â¦new coil and voltage regulator
â¦Patriot ceramic coated headers and new dual 2 1/2" aluminized exhaust
â¦TKO 600 5 speed transmission with Hurst pistol grip, Lakewood steel bell housing, Ram clutch
â¦aluminum drive shaft
â¦new suregrip rear axle assy with "Green" bearing conversion, new axles and Nitro 3.23 highway gears
â¦new Hotchkis rear springs, vehicle lowered approximately 2 inches
â¦real walnut rim E body steering wheel
â¦new welded in front floors and tranny hump
â¦all overhauled or new rallye dash instrumentation
â¦RTE solid state instrument voltage limiter
â¦power steering
â¦new front wheel bearings
â¦new brake master cylinder, overhauled rear brakes, all stainless brake lines
I've listed mileage as 100,000 because ebay needed a number but it's actually unknown. I don't really want to sell this car and I've spent a fortune, but I have to finance another project. I'm also selling a yellow '73 Mach 1 on ebay. For questions call Dave at 603-978-0320 or email: scaledave@comcast.net
