1973 Dodge Charger 5.7 Hemi 5sp Overdrive Runs Great on 2040-cars

I'm selling my 1973 Charger. I will be moving soon and could put it in storage but would much rather sell it to someone who can use and appreciate it. I bought it in 2001 out of a field in AZ that it had been sitting in since the mid 80s. It was a white on white 400 ci automatic car with a blue roof and red stripe down the side. Over the years I've had it, everything has been gone over at least once. As you can see from the pictures, the desert sun has taken a toll since it was painted in 2005, and it could use a new paint job. Besides that, it runs great, it starts every time and has zero drips. The rack and pinion also really helps move around a car of this size. The engine has about 3000 miles on it and on a recent trip from Houston to tucson, it got about 20mpg. Please email with questions, as I know I'm missing some details in the description, there is just too much to list.

Q:	So, how did you get the 2008 charger dash in there, and did you have to do any cutting or perm. changes to the interior of the car to make that happen? Do you have the original dash still? Oh, same with the center console. I really couldn't see very well from the pics you had included. Thanks for the help.	Aug-20-14
A:	The dash actually fit side to side without modification, I did have to cut several inches from the rear, which is covered by the dash cover. The entire metal structure of the 2008 dash is behind it. It was necessary to either do this or a complete custom fiberglass dash in order for the modern steering column, massive amounts of wiring, ecu, electronic gauges, a/c controls, air conditioning system, and TV to fit (the 73 dash was way too small). I also like the console, it is really practical with the cup holders, turn signals-two buttons for on/off by your hand when rested on the arm rest, iPhone/usb cables, and 12v power outlets. Overall everything works really well and looks good but I would say the console and dash should be upholstered by a shop in order to cover all the seams and imperfections to make it really show car quality. I sold the 73 dash when I removed it, considering how much work it would be to ever re-install the old dash with all the new tech. I can post more pics today, thanks for the interest.
