These years Chargers have grown on me. I didn't love them back in the day compared to the 68's or even the 66/67's, but I kinda like seeing them now.

A full restoration is what this cae deserves.

Always liked this body style s especially the hidden head lights and the gills on the doors. The. I got one from a old friend from work back in the 80s. I rode in it one time and fell in love. Had many 67-70. Well passed away. And his sister 😍 told me it’s mine ! 💁‍♂️😎😱

I have two 73 Chargers, a 340 Rallye (same blue as yours) a red w/black vinyl top SE with a 400 4 barrel. Awesome job getting it back with the living.

I need that chrysler starter as a ring-tone. Thank you for the wholesome entertainment

That is a good looking car. Not bad for sitting so long.

My brother got a 72 Roadrunner in 84. It had a 400 with automatic slap shift. That 400!was a decent engine. But he blew the motor in it showing off in front of some cute girls. I had a 69 Charger with a bad transmission. So we pulled the 383 out of the Charger and put the 383 in. We ran all the 400 stuff like thermoquad carb and intake. Electronic ignition. Also had headers when he bought it. That 383 was a beast with the newer stuff off the 400. That roadrunner really came alive. So seeing that 400 brought back fond memories of the Roadrunner. Thanks for the video and the walk down memory lane.

Ah the days of yester year , love those big block mopars !

Awesome car! With awesome options! Awesome video! I restored a 72 B3 Super Blue Charger several years back, I love that color on the gen 3 Chargers! Thanks for sharing!👍

My first new car was special ordered at age 22. It was a 73 Charger SE Brougham. Black, a rare houndstooth interior with center arm rest. 318, AT, full power, PW, and wire wheel covers. It was a really gorgeous car and a chick magnet. It got lost on the way to Chicago and ended up in St. Louis. I finally received it in July of 73 3 months after ordering it. That should have been a real omen. As gorgeous as it was, it had to go into the dealer quite a few times for problems. Being very stupid, I traded it in in 1975 for a silver Cordoba! That car was put together even worse. I still with I had them!!!!

Amazing Rare Dodge Charger SE! At 19 years old my first car was a 73 Dodge Charger SE@ it had the triple three windows in the rear’ 150 mph on the dash’ I only paid $190 because at a nursing home I worked at a Nurse sold it to me because it would only get up to 44 mph” a friend I knew since 1st grade Grandfather and Brother checked it out at her grandfather’s car garage fixed it laughing at me as I was confused “ Nick! Her Grandfather told me! All she needed was a set of spark plugs!!!! You got a steal!!! Lol! I was amazed happy in shock! My Mother named her The Brownie because it was colored Bronze’ drove it for about 12 years and brought another one a white colored 74 Dodge Charger SE Brougham It had bucket seats with a automatic shifter!

Restored it would look GORGEOUS!!!

My first car was a 73 just like that one with the 400! 16 and with at the time my dream car. Also had a Sun Roof and was Chestnut metallic. Loved that car. Eventually had it turning 12:09 in the 1/4 mile and still street legal. Wish I still had it but hindsight is always 20/20.

Nice 68 charger 👍

My high school car in 1979 was a mint 1974 dodge charger. Black interior and black exterior, factory air 440cid. I got my license and the car on the week of my 16th birthday. I put 80 miles on that car the first day.I bought the car with money I had saved since age 10. From moving lawns and loading and unloading freight when I hit my growth spurt to 6'-1''. During that period my friends uncle had two hemi Cud'a's. I could not grab the $100 bill off the dashboard of the Cud'a I got to ride in.

I had a 1973 Charger Rallye with a 340 and 4spd Pistol Grip and Console. The car was root beer brown with white vinyl top, and white seats, and black carpet and dash. It also had the Tough steering wheel. I sold it in 1980. I paid $1,100 for it, and was in good shape. Worth a lot more than that now, Lol

That's a super sweet driver👍

After I lost my two '70 Bees several decades ago (one was from a crooked body shop that stole it), I just had to get another, but could only afford a '73+ at the time. But it is a real Road Runner, a factory 400 (came with a 440 in it that's on it's last leg and .060 over) and a factory 4 speed with lots of bondo, but at least it's mine. Still always lusting after a proper Mopar ('68-72), but it is what it is, and even if I ever got the year I want, I would never sell this one because I'm attached to it. I've learned my lesson. And a new one: The '73+ years are okay too.

That’s a beauty, will be gorgeous someday!

I have a 72 Charger Ralleye with a 340 and i love it.

Nice car. I have a 1972 Charger SE that I restored. The 400 motor was blown and I replaced it with a 440. It has 84k original miles. Probably have more money in the car than it is worth but who cares I love it. Great video. Thanks.

I'm in Colorado and just dragged my parents '73 Charger back from SC. It sat in a pasture for 28 years. Complete rust bucket right now. Has a 318 in it right now. Got a 360 sitting on a stand. My grandfather bought it brand new in April '73. I can't wait to get it back on the road again!

Cool to see something like this come back to life! The 73 Charger is my dream car, I know other models are more desirable but having grown up a huge Petty fan that 73-77 blue and red Charger holds a special place to me.

These cars were GREAT! I did MUCH PREFER the AGRESSIVE rear roofline of the '71-'72 Chargers, though! THESE LOOKED LIKE MASSIVE POWER! A few EVEN had it!

Dueling cranking Dodge starters is perfect! 9:36 That sound makes me weak in the knees, makes me ping! Nice job! Love the video.

WOW ❤ I had one back 1987 my boss gift to me love it ❤

My '73 Brougham SE had the triple Opera windows. Thanks for letting me know what they were called. It was brown/copper color with the white interior, bucket seats, floor shifter and roll up windows. Our 400 came with the Carter Thermo-quad. It never liked to start, but boy those four barrels sounded great at speed. My parents paid $3300 for it new. My dad and I rebuild the engine in the 80's with, I think, a lopier Competition Cams brand camshaft. Thanks for sharing.

Great good… what a fun time watching…wish I was actually there. Get me one of these.

These are one of my bucket list cars. My friends brother had a 73 charger rallye with the 400, buldge hood, side stripes, machine gun tips, and mag 500 wheels, back when I was in middle school in 1997. Ever since I Laid eyes on it and heard it, damn!

What??? Nobody made the obvious comment??? I guess I have to do EVERYTHING! "now when it does catch on fire; it won't smell quite as bad" This is the gold you get with DDG. Love it.

Looks like my 76 cordova mine had cruise control just like yours i miss that car loved to cruise in her.

Beautiful survivor!

"back in the day" - early 90s, we always called 'em "bro-hams" haha!

Great video! Your voice and mannerisms crack me up! I hope your channel grows!

I like how the interior matches the exterior and muy interesante la radio estación 😁

Those 400s do sound good. If you look up stock specs they have decent cam specs in 73 still. It’s possible the 2brl is different but when I researched it was definitely 268 duration and had close to .450 lift. Also they have a stock windage tray and I believe a double roller timing chain from the factory. My friends 73 chops pretty hard with flowmasters on it.

Nice car😊

Fantastic Find! Blowing out the mouse house was classic! The only 8-track or cassette memo/play units I have seen was a 'doba-charger and the player was like an extension of the center console almost touching the dash. The other was very similar to the Charger one-but a 8-track/memo in a '70 'Cuda. Guy recorded his street racing data with it. Background Ramcharger looks rough, but the roof looks decent.

Awesome!!

Wow, I didn’t think a 2bl carb would be on a 400, but I had a friend that had a 440 in a old truck stock that if I remember it had a 2bl on it but it looked like a 1bl. Id love to get out they and check your stuff out, you have all the cars I like, I wanted a old power wagon soooo bad when I was younger from the one we had at snoqualmie pass to work on lift towers.

🏆You got some awesome rides🏆 my 73 charger was baby blue, look cool with cragars 🍀got R done 😎✌️

I like your off-the-cuff, un-serious narration. It's entertaining. I'd love to see this car restored... with all those options on it, I wonder if it was a dealer demonstrator or perhaps a special order car for someone with lots of dough.

1991 baby!!

Man nice Charger!! I wish it was my. I helped a friend of my work on a 73 Charger with a 400 and the nice thing about that year model Charger is you can put bigger back tires on it with out rubbing the fender well as long as there not way to big.

Man I love these things. I have two 1973s. One is a super blue U code Rallye, but the 440 is missing. It currently has a nice running 400 4bbl in it. The other one is base 318 auto car, but it's been swapped to a 360 sometime in the late 70s. Before I got it, it had been sitting in a field since 1983

I love that car. My cousin had a 73 R/T.

A self-sixing Dodge - perhaps it's one of Christine's distant relatives. I was stationed in Seattle back in 2008-2011. There were just a ton of solid late 60s and early 70s MOPARs. I got stationed there again in 2019 and they were all gone. The sound of those MOPAR starters are like music.

Have I said you got the best job in the World?!!!

Good tune up,...but great fine.... Great family car.. nice shape ...

What a find. That would have been such a pretty car back then. It would be so interesting to know its history.

"Most Chargers don't have a pull handle here"....anymore. They didn't last long. A '73 Charger SE was my first car. I love these things. Though I wish mine had been ordered "rust hole delete"

Mopar or No Car! Love your videos!

Wow, nice Jamie, I had a 73 also but with the 3-slot opera windows, a SE without them look strange! Thanks for the video! I sent you a message through your FB page you provided a link to. Thanks! BTW, looks like a 400 2BBL, 383 was gone after 1971 and the 440 would be a 4BBL.

My uncle had a brand new SE back in the day. Red with a black top. Had the 3 small windows. I remember he drove it like he was an old lady going to church. 😂

Petty Blue with white letters and Cragars....NICE!

I've heard that before. He's standing on his Crank 🤣😂🤣!!!

QUICKEST car ever drove? A 1971 Charger 440 Magnum R/T around 1985, Engine had been blueprinted, balanced and Trans had been replaced with an after market street/strip...with a 3:55 rear end ratio.. best could measure, hand held stop watch, beach asphalt parking lot, 1100 foot run..but worked out to about a 13.2 qutr mile, having to launch at 3000 rpm, or would bake the tires(bias ply L-60's_) off figure today, could improve times, btr tires, suspension, on a strip, an easy 12.5 or better

my fav year !

Am i the only one that thought in the beginning of the vid the charger sounds like it was beatboxing starting up

I'm new to the channel. Great, here I go binge watching all of your video content lol. "Don't be sad because sad spelled backwards is das and das don't make any sense. LMAO! Thank you for that. I needed that laugh this morning.

I recently bought a 73 Charger SE Brougham with a factory 400. Great original shape and even more rust free than yours. I sure do love CA cars. I’m just finishing up rebuilding the front end and switching to poly body mounts. Also switched to 72-earlier 41” T bars. Next move is to swap to pre 73 leaf springs. After all the rubber is gone, it might be a decent handling car.

I had a 73 Charger with 440 dual exhaust with two big chrome tips, slap stick Automatic it had a dark blue paint.

Only upgrade I would make would be to change 2bbl to a 4bbl. Very nice Dodge with a ton of rare options. I even notice the cruise control on one of the views.

Yeah my mother had the 72 SE with slapstick automatic on thefloor

Dammit I had one of those , mine was Aztec gold with a white interior bucket seats slapstick console.

Going to a Sharp Car when Restored’ 😎

No body even noticed seat belt light was on real gem there

Love my 74 318 Charger but always wished it would have been born with the 400.

I need to get you to San Diego to work on my 73 Charger, lol.

Ether is always your friend. And hey you should do a live stream sometime. Like an hour on Sunday nights or whenever where you just walk around the shop and talk shit about your projects and interact with the live chat. I think it would be cool.

Seeing that interior takes me right back to my first car. '72 Charger se. 318 2bbl. Same color as this but much worse overall. Lol

Love this car 😃 What happened to this car?

This hideousnous of this car will haunt my dreams. Super cool though

Oh my God! I had that same car in 83 till 90. Like a moron kid. I sold it to buy a new car... now I cruise a 71 dart.

My wifes first car was a white 73 Charger with the 318 it was loaded like this one.

B body best lines a car ever had I got two for sale solid units

that car is from albuquerque n,m that is a 400 in it, if it is the car i am thinking of, that car was bought new in 73, parked in 79 and sat until 1994, revived by roger johnson, the dual exhaust was put under there by fat max custom exhaust it has been re upholstered, if it is the same car, it had less than 30 k miles on it in the early 90s, if it sat 30 plus years again miles will be close to accurate, roger had it re painted by one day paint and body, it will only have one chrome driver side mirror, the rest is correct from what i see, if this is the right car, it was bought side by side with a black on black on black royal monaco vip 4 door with a police package with a 440, crazy to see that she survived. the odds of another this similar is a million to one

That's long time sitting. Guessing had to O/H Carb and wash out gas tank and lines, Sweet old school Mopar

i asked on another video about this model i found one a 73 black on black in and out SE bro-ham😆 with a 440 double pumper holleys supposedly 65,000 miles and a show car full nut and bolt resto

Hold it dead flat an keep winding 👍🏻💯😂

In order for it to start quickly, you have to close the carburetor by hand, do it at the same time as you accelerate a little, after filling the bowl and constant and direct supply of fuel to inside carburetor.

I learned something new here.. Amazing but is it true and factory? With cruise control on 73 B bodys.. The washer reservoir on the hood latch extension.. Normally mounted where the cruise unit is .. The screws don't look right.. Some one just mount it there?

I bet discount ramps is right next to spatula city.

How's the restore coming? Can I get dibs in on the tape deck if not? Thank you Sir!

Would you be able to make a video of the instrument dashboard harness wires and where/how it should be connected 🙏

I just got my old Córdoba back and aim trying to get it running again os any pointers aim trying to do the work myself

During my time in Biloxi Mississippiiii in tech school to be an air traffic controller for the USAF a buddy I pall'ed around with had this car if I recall correctly it was yellow(?) and it DID have the triple opera windows... Oh the fun, on our nights and days off, zooming around the Mississippi countryside a few years past that awful hurricane Camille a Cat V back in August 1969. I was there in late 1976-early '77 and not even 20 years old yet. I did purcahse a 1968 'His/Her' Hurst Shift Goat while I was there and drove it to my first duty station (Kelly AFB, San Antonio, TX) upon graduation from ATC School. Edit: p.s. I happen to find your unique patter style refreshing and not at all annoying. I feel qualified to make a judgement on your patter as I had been a professional speaker for a few decades as a tour guide. My patter brought me many positive comments from those whom were on my tours. One thing I haven't noticed which IS annoying is the use and abuse of the word, "LIKE" it is over used and only second to the pause wherein you hear, "UMM" consistantly. I don't hear that from you, Jamie.

Have you heard of bent frame rail rolled in on Duster. I took my Duster to the alignment shop and they said it rolled in can't align it.

I'm pretty sure I saw a mouse fly out of the exhaust

I would enjoy a rustless 67 68 barracuda or 70-72 Duster please

i have a 74 charger similar to this one but im struggling to find a radiator that lines up with the old mounts

Had a 73 Sport 340 mag. It would dust tgem 429 Torinos

Did u buy that at a house for sale by Fairchild Air base, I saw it. I would be interested in purchasing it right now, had 71 in high school, mom sold when I was fishing in Alaska. Would love to have another one.

How much for the 73? Shes my model year. I want to see what the body looks like bead blasted on a rotisserie, engine at the machine shop, factory A/C restored 100%. Shed be alot more than a trailer queen to me, trust me alot more... lol. Im a Vet..

A man down the street has the same thing in triple black. It's a 440. 56,000 miles on it. It's been sitting for years. He won't sell it. Offered him 7 grand. Nope. Any suggestions?

Are all Charger special editions brougham? Is there a place to find out what the 1972 Charger vin numbers mean?

But you forgot to mention just how much this mint condition 73 charger 400-2bbl cost 👀 some people's opinions differ from others to what is a good deal or not.

Start it on 2 stroke fuel ⛽️ will help lube a dry top end .

Did you oil all the cylinders first?? Or is that just a throw away motor??

My neighbor has a 73 survivor charger,400 bench seat, only option is a/c,it could use a repaint, if you were really picky,he wants 5 thousand for it.
