    I had a 74 SE with black leather seats, floor shift, and a 4bl 400 from the factory. The last GOOD big block B-body. A friend of mine owns it now. Ive also had a 71 and a 68 R/T, 3 Satellites, and many other Mopars.

    It's nice to see the unwanted by collectors 1972-74 Chargers being put back on the road restored or repaired. The only big engineering change was insulating the K frame with rubber isolators. [Update; and rear iso-springs and the transmission mount].
