1973 Challenger Restomod - 4 speed / 512 stroker / Hotchkis suspension

[dave73]

Been toying around selling this for a few years. A hot rod I've had my eye on for awhile hit the market and I would sell this for the right money.

1973 Challenger - originally black on black with 318, 3 speed, 8-3/4 rear, minimal options but I have the build sheet and fender tag. Previous owner painted it sublime, I've since painted it black.

Build has about 650 miles on it since the new engine has been installed. I've posted a lot of the progress on here. I documented a lot of the progress on the cuda-challenger site since around 2015 when I first acquired this car (my handle was dave73chally).

-painted SEM Hot Rod Black with gloss black t/a side strips and gloss black American flag on the roof

-all rust fixed (new rear window filler, lower quarters)
-minor body mods (smoothed and painted bumpers, shaved side markers, shaved antenna)

What it needs:
-professional paint job (currently sprayed SEM Hot Rod Black. It's a decent driver job)

**Have the numbers matching 318 and 3speed trans that will go with the sale. Was running and driving with this setup from 2015-2017**

I have tons of pictures at the various stages. I'm sure there is a bit I am missing on the description. Runs, drives and handles great. The combination of the hotchkis suspension plus the 4speed big block is awesome.

Any feedback on price? I based it off what some on here said it may be worth/sell for when I posted about it's value a few months back. Thanks all!

Bumping this to the top. Had a local buyer with a deposit down just back out after turmoil with his job.
