so, I love these cars. I have my eye on a 1973 charger se. Its a bit of a fixer upper but that should be no issue for me, as i love to tinker and restore things and its just time to build my dream car.

Now, here is the issue. They seem to want a little much. From what i can gather the car has been sitting in a pasture for about 10 years.

The good. Its like i said a 73 SE brougham with a moon roof, the previous owner took out the 400 and replaced it with the 440 (not sure which one it is), B&M race shifter.

the bad from what They tell me the torque converter is ruined and needs to be replaces.

so THE BIG questions is how much do you think this gem is worth.
now for a pic.

Welcome!

If you can read the casting numbers on the side, that will tell you what size the motor is. Or post it on here and we will tell you.

Since it has sat in a pasture for the last 10 years, I would imagine that the underside would be fairly rusted/rotted. You will want to take a good look at it before making an offer.

yes, this was one of my biggest concerns. looking it seems to be mostly ok. there is some surface rust, and the rear driver fender is rusted and will need to be replaced, or cropped out and fixed.

looking at the floor boards they all seem in good shape, now the trunk is locked and i couldnt find the key. but from the bottom of the car it seems to be ok as well.
