1973 Dodge Challenger 340 4spd
(numbers matching!)
1 of 1,696 produced
B5 Blue with white vinyl top and interior
This car was originally sold in Long Island,
NY. I brought it to Michigan in Oct of 2000 and it has been garaged ever since.
It is an original 85K mileage car. I started restoration and have put some
$$ into the car. It has the numbers matching 340 and 4spd. I have original
documentation including the body tag (see pics).
The car is a very nice original to start with and all of the important pieces
are there (4spd shifter, console, rallye gauges, R/T hood, rear valance with
cutouts and tips). The car does have some rust, but minor for a New York car. It
has mostly the original B5 blue paint that has rubbed out fairly well. The
car runs good, but needs a carb rebuild and a tune up. The brakes seem good and
drives well, but there is a vibration in the center of the car which I think is
the drive shaft (either it needs balancing or u-joints?). The glass is
good, stainless trim is good, but needs to be straightened on the grille. The
grille has one crack that can be repaired. The bumpers would need to be
rechromed for a show car. I have all of the air parts too. Dash pad has no
cracks.
The driver's quarter needs to be replace and the trunk extension. The rest of the rust is minor (in my opinion, see pics)
The car was not ordered with the rallye pkg (A57), but was ordered with every other option but Sure-grip differential (it has one now, but I don't know the gear ratio) and rallye wheels.
