Willing to ship anywhere using eBay partners or pickup local in the Phoenix metro. My better half says it’s time to give her the garage space back before summer starts so I’ll find a new toy this winter, no trades for now. Purchased this about a year and a half ago from garage kept motors, listing is probably still up. The CarResources website provides a bit of the history of the Dodge Challenger second series/first generation: “The Challenger Coupe was introduced in 1971, and it came with several improvements when compared to the first series. For instance, the front grille featured a different design. The engine didn't see an enormous upgrade even though Dodge still provided you with a wide selection. The Coupe had Inline-6 or a V8 as options. Buyers could still choose a more powerful engine if they wanted to.” Fully restored to a very high standard in 2014, the '73 Dodge Challenger offered here represents the model very well. Equipped with air conditioning, it's ready for comfortable summer touring in style with a refrigerant charge and system checkup I’m told. The car's exterior green-metallic paint is an original Dodge color and it has been professionally applied here; the finish is uniformly glossy and free of imperfections. This color catches the light in a very pleasing way. The brushed trim surrounding the taillights is beautifully restored. All badging and emblems are properly located and in exceptional condition. The black vinyl top appears as-new. Chrome bumpers and chrome body trim are similarly outstanding. Lighting lenses are clear and free of cracks, as is all the cabin glass. The Cragar® “mag” wheels are period-correct and might well have been added to this model in the day; BFGoodrich Radial T/A raised-white-letter tires are mounted. Inside, the “green” theme continues with two shades of moss-green on the vinyl upholstery (with a vertically pleated design) on both the front bucket and rear bench seats. Door trim, cabin trim, and dashboard all display the moss-green color. Instrumentation includes the left-of-center, large speedometer with smaller engine-monitoring gauges extending to the right, all behind the factory sport steering wheel. An aftermarket with Bluetooth deck is mounted in the factory-radio location. Slide controls operate heat, ventilation, and air conditioning but air conditioning is not currently functioning. The automatic shifter is located on the woodgrain-trimmed moss green console. Cabin floors are covered in dark-green carpeting protected with rubber mats. Under the hood, the 318 cubic-inch V8 has been fully rebuilt to stock standards. All components are properly mounted, with coolant hoses, air-conditioning lines, and wiring all properly routed. An upgraded aluminum radiator is mounted. Viewed from below, the Challenger's chassis is well-ordered and damage-free with the performance exhaust headers a focal point. The car's VIN tag and data tags for the build remain in place and have not been modified.
