'72 Charger SE overseas: hello from Germany

[42TIM]

Hi there,
I just want to introduce me and my fuel2noise converter, a '72 Charger SE original 400cui - now with a 440cui from a '71 R/T. Well, I am from Germany, 46 yrs old, have a cool wife, two great kids... hmm... and since 2015 (must've been midlife crisis) my Charger. I am not the world's best mechanic - my welding abilities are next to non-existing, I hate the wiring in my car (why do all the cables change colour every couple of inches?? Who did this??) but im getting better. At least I hope so.

If you want to know anything -> just ask :-)

Cheers

Tim

Welcome! Nice car. I had a 72 SE a long time ago. But not as nice as yours.

Welcome to the site Tim, always nice to see another 72SE join. What are your plans for it?

Welcome to the group.   Thanks for sharing

What are your plans for it?

Enjoy :-) I'm pretty simple minded - I fell in love with that 3rd Gen. style a couple of years ago and I simply like this car as it is (minus rust) so I drive it a lot. Yes, it gets wet. Yes, the kids leave dirt in it (and I have to clean up the mess).

Apart from that my plans are the following:
Next thing on my to do list is finding a trailer hitch.
Get the A/C running again - I replaced the evaporator core now it's time to see if it works.
The tacho doesn't work properly. I got it working again for a couple of weeks... but it died again.
Rust on the front pillar: that scares me most.

That's basically it.

I'm sure that's only a good sign...
   

Car looks great !!
