Sitting 31 Years! 1973 Dodge Charger Roars Back To Life

Today on Dead Dodge Garage, we revive this excellent 1973 Dodge Charger. It’s loaded with just about every option that was available, and is in remarkably good shape. It doesn’t have any of the “normal” Mopar rust either, so that’s neat. But will it fire up and drive off of the trailer into the shop, where it will soon receive a full restoration? The answer won’t surprise you, it’s yes.
If you want to see more of this car, tune it a ways down the road as its overhaul begins at ‪@rocketresto‬

These years Chargers have grown on me. I didn't love them back in the day compared to the 68's or even the 66/67's, but I kinda like seeing them now.

A full restoration is what this cae deserves.

Always liked this body style s especially the hidden head lights and the gills on the doors. The. I got one from a old friend from work back in the 80s. I rode in it one time and fell in love. Had many 67-70. Well passed away. And his sister 😍 told me it’s mine ! 💁‍♂️😎😱

I have two 73 Chargers, a 340 Rallye (same blue as yours) a red w/black vinyl top SE with a 400 4 barrel.

I need that chrysler starter as a ring-tone.

[@NathansMoparGarage]

That is a good looking car. Not bad for sitting so long.

I had a 1973 Charger Rallye with a 340 and 4spd Pistol Grip and Console. The car was root beer brown with white vinyl top, and white seats, and black carpet and dash. It also had the Tough steering wheel. I sold it in 1980. I paid $1,100 for it, and was in good shape. Worth a lot more than that now, Lol

My high school car in 1979 was a mint 1974 dodge charger. Black interior and black exterior, factory air 440cid. I got my license and the car on the week of my 16th birthday. I put 80 miles on that car the first day.I bought the car with money I had saved since age 10. From moving lawns and loading and unloading freight when I hit my growth spurt to 6'-1''. During that period my friends uncle had two hemi Cud'a's. I could not grab the $100 bill off the dashboard of the Cud'a I got to ride in.

Dueling cranking Dodge starters is perfect!

Cool to see something like this come back to life! The 73 Charger is my dream car, I know other models are more desirable but having grown up a huge Petty fan that 73-77 blue and red Charger holds a special place to me.

Awesome car! With awesome options! Awesome video! I restored a 72 B3 Super Blue Charger several years back, I love that color on the gen 3 Chargers! Thanks for sharing!👍

[@golf253]

Great good… what a fun time watching…wish I was actually there. Get me one of these.

[@66balsam]

That’s a beauty, will be gorgeous someday!

[@danhoyland142]

These are one of my bucket list cars. My friends brother had a 73 charger rallye with the 400, buldge hood, side stripes, machine gun tips, and mag 500 wheels, back when I was in middle school in 1997. Ever since I Laid eyes on it and heard it, damn!

[@rudybriskar5267]

Your the man!

My first new car was special ordered at age 22. It was a 73 Charger SE Brougham. Black, a rare houndstooth interior with center arm rest. 318, AT, full power, PW, and wire wheel covers. It was a really gorgeous car and a chick magnet.
