Rust-Free 1973 Dodge Charger With EFI Conversion
The further one strays from the 1968-70 epicenter of Dodge Charger popularity, the more reasonable the asking (and selling) prices become. The restyled 1971 Charger and its muscular engine options could never be called inexpensive, but the later ’73… more»
