General Q&A / 1973 Charger SE

Last post by branded - Today at 02:46:28 PM

We just restored a 1973 Charger SE matching numbers car with a 400HP motor.  Can anyone tell me how many HP motors were put into 73 Chargers and how many are left?  Our machinist told us the HP 400 was pretty rare.

Not really a "traffic" ticket because it's not a moving violation, but the cops in my state love to write citations for tinted windows deemed too dark. The law says "Front-side windows must allow over 70% of light to be transmitted. This restricts tint to 30% or lighter."  How the hell does a cop determine this?
They write the ticket and it's up to you to prove it's not too dark. 

Hi John,            06 May 2024

They do it because they can, most likely the average driver hasn't a clue what to do to beat the citation. It's "Guilty Until Proven Innocent;" just the opposite of what the constitution says. We are already a "Dictatorship" Ala "Joe Schmo" Pricktator in Chief."

Here (AZ) Pinal County is big on enforcing the window tint law, which is the same as yours; the cops have a meter they put on the window which lets them know the tint percentage. Here in Phoenix they seem to turn a blind eye to window tint.

Our truck had the legal stuff on it. We got tired of rolling the windows down at night so we had it removed. Love it OFF !!!

  In basic training our Sgt. stuttered constantly, every order and sentence was staggered English. This is NOT what I meant as that is a stigmatic effect like Mel Tillis has.

I've always had that growing up in Northern Ontario, Canada. Everything is far away, and sometimes the roads were so terrible you couldn't go a reliable speed like 80, so distance was useless. now living in southern Ontario, explaining going from, say, Toronto to Ottawa, its not 450km away, its still 5ish hours. Next town over? 15mins. Where were you from again? 10 hours northwest of North Bay.

I phoned a guy last night about a 1971 Firebird ( I used to have one a long time ago )

Got to talking after finding out his prices were for the pure Pontiac guy.
I said it was a little more than I wanted to pay for a project because I was a Mopar guy at heart.

Then he said Oh he had a Dodge Dart and 2 1969 Daytonas also. One blue car 440 auto and a hemi orange car he painted with 440 six pack and 4 speed in it.

Soooo now I am going to have to make a trip about an hour away to see his toys as he said he would be happy to show me
