I bought this old Charger Monday

[70bigblockdodge]

It’s a roller

Hell it's a B body anything will fall in there and work.

 

[C Body Bob]

I found receipts in the car were the guy who raced it had work done. A 4:10 gear, back brace for rear housing, steering box, custom driveshaft , new fuel tank and engine work.

 

[C Body Bob]

Lots of parts in the trunk. TTI headers, driveshaft, radiator

 

[live4theking]

Looks like fun.

 

[C Body Bob]

Trunk mounted battery with heavy cables & a cut off switch behind the license plate.

 

[C Body Bob]

Nice exhaust tips out of good rear valence and a new fuel tank had been installed

 

[C Body Bob]

Back braced rear housing. Rear sway bar. And front sway bar still on car. And 3 inch pipes with X crossover. It was a street car.

 

[C Body Bob]

Factory front spoiler & fiberglass front bumper. And a fiberglass bolt on budge hood came with the car too.

 

[C Body Bob]

The badging the car is wearing. This is going to be a fun car to play with. Looking forward to it.

I do like the Modern Hemi route, but you do have the headers already.... You could go the way of the rest of the world.......Turbo LS swap. Just kidding, LOL.

I’ve already got a 440 too as well as an intake. Aluminum rockers. That’s $1200 bucks right there

Really nice complete car by the way and love the chin spoiler!
I had a 74SE and when I had completely rebuilt the suspension (I wish I still had that car), I also did the following:

Looks/sound like the previous owner made a lot of improvements and likely did what I suggest below, nut just in case they didn't...

If the rubber isolated spring/axle contraptions are still on it, I'd get rid of that **** (I cant tell by the rear pix) and go with the older shock plates.
Also check the isolated Kframe, drivers rear for rot because the stupid rubber isolators trapped water in these cars (VERY common issue on these cars). If the kframe still has the rubber isolators, replace em with solid ones as well as the torsion bar rubber isolated cross member rubber bushings.

All that rubber **** was to soften and quiet the ride at the time but at the expense of road/handling performance

*all of the items needed for the 'ISO delete' can be found at Firm Feel B Body Parts
-iso delete kit (which is the rear shock plates that you can readily get anyway so I wouldn't bother with getting it from them)
-aluminum body mounts (kframe)
-cross member mounts (torsion bar) I had a machine shop make mine and can provide the specs

Nothing wrong with the Iso suspension for a street car...wasted money converting it if you're just going to street it.

Oh...congratulations on the score !

 

[Kernel Sanders]

But if he's gonna put a warmed over 440 in it, might as well make it more of a fun car for some spirited driving/track... the car looks like its already ready for some of that already (why else would you back-brace an 8.75, Dual 3" Xpipe exhaust, trunked battery with cut-off, TTI headers...)

My guess with all that work already, the previous owner already did it anyway

I personally did not like the wishy washy handling caused by all of that rubber iso crap and did not feel nice at all 'floating' around corners like I was in a boat on the water.

Yes it still has the ISO stuff in the rear. A bit surprised by that. The front K frame biscuits look very good. They’ve been replaced. Yea I’m familiar with the polyurethane stuff. I converted my 77 big block Fury to Polyurethane front to rear & did away with the ISO & installed a 8 3/4 rear.

Love the post burnout pic, we need more action pic's

You like spending my money I see LOL

We like spending anyone else's money...

So this one can title/register to be street driven? I'd say to cherry pick anything you want for Furious (rear end?) and then make her road worthy. I bet you could be doing laps around the subdivision in a week without a parts bill right now.

I had a 73 that I loved and did awful things to before I was old enough to legally sit in a bar. Teenage cantflip would have considered this car to be very close to perfection. My grownup self wants a bit more luxury, but I still have a soft spot. Just tell everyone that the 440 came out of an A Body...

Yea I thought about that. I got to pull the motor & trans out of FURYIOUS anyway & run a new fuel line. The only thing is I have the suspension and n FURYIOUS dialed in & its 400 pounds lighter. And the Charger doesn’t have a roll cage. And I just recently spent $200 bucks on a back brace tied to the roll bar & new SFI belts just to please the tech guy at VMP.
