standard Music Master AM unit and
the gauges, while original, still look
pretty good. Newer rubber floor mats
are a thoughtful touch and keep the
new carpets looking good and the
trunk is fully finished with a correct
mat and a full-sized spare tire.
The very stock-looking engine
bay houses the original, numbersmatching 383 cubic inch V8, which
was rebuilt in 1997. It’s got a few signs
of use, but the overall condition of the
engine bay is consistent with a very
well-kept original car and everybody
is impressed by how smoothly this
sucker idles. An Edelbrock 600 CFM
carburetor lives under the original air
cleaner, and there are some modern
spark plug wires, but beyond that, it’s
quite stock and authentic-looking.
The 727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission behind it turns
the original 8.75-inch rear end and
you’ll note that there are a pair of fresh
Flowmaster mufflers down there, so
it has that awesome Mopar big block
sound. A new gas tank and lines ensure a steady supply of high octane
and it sits on fantastic Magnum 500
wheels and recent F70-14 Firestone
redlines for a totally authentic look.
This one is going to be like every
other Charger we’ve had, so don’t just
sit there and wait, call today!
