Spotting the words “deal” and “Mopar” in the same sentence is a rare occurrence nowadays, but this 1973 Dodge Charger just might be one of the better buys out there right now in the third-generation marketplace. Granted, this one’s gonna need a fuel pump at minimum to be operational, but the asking price of $8,000 sounds quite reasonable for what we’re seeing here, IMHO. The seller also says he might even be willing to negotiate, so if this cool B-Body has piqued your interest, it’s located in Enterprise, Alabama, and can be found here on Facebook Marketplace. Our thanks go out to reader PRA4SNW for the excellent tip here!
This appears to be a case where the seller simply got bored with the car. He reportedly lost interest rather quickly, as his ownership has lasted only about one year. This one was born back in the good old seventies period when a big block was still a possibility, but there’s no 440 under the hood here, just a 318. However, that helps keep this one affordable, and it’s said to have been running great until the fuel pump failed. Perhaps replacing that component will get the small block going again, but installing something larger in the bay might be a more rewarding idea for the long run.
There’s not much specific information provided about the exterior, other than that the body has rust in some areas. It’s also not disclosed how long ago the red paint was applied, nor whether any significant work has been performed on the sheet metal. Although it’s not perfect, this one doesn’t look all that bad outside, at least from a distance, and I wouldn’t be ashamed to drive it around for a while before taking the panels to a higher level and spraying on some fresh paint.
One already strong area here is the interior, which is said to have been redone, with the seats featuring a combination of black and bright red vinyl. The dash and door panels also appear satisfactory, but the headliner has been removed, so sourcing one and installing it will be an afternoon well spent. This one is claimed to have only 52,932 miles, so if the odometer reading is accurate, that’s really low for a vehicle more than 50 years old. I’m seeing lots of potential here for not a whole lot of money, and feeling this 1973 Dodge Charger is likely a very good deal. What do you think?
Not often one sees a bargain on BF, but this appears to be one.
