Faults:

- The vacuum operated hidden headlights were barely working when I bought the car, so for conveniences sake I converted it to electric

- Rust was horrible, but I do live in Quebec which could explain the abnormal rust

- Paint was fading

- New radiator, starter, battery, alternator, oil filter and carburetor

- Some rewiring

- Gas and oil guzzler

- Leaky

General Comments:

This was actually my first car ever! Bought it for a measly 430$ from a friend in college back in 1986. Daily drove it for 4 years and the car was relatively reliable. The car was also pretty practical for me at least, good trunk space and a good spacious interior, and also looked SEXY! It was absolutely a blast to drive it every time, and that 383 2-barrel could still kick some ass back when I used to race this almost every weekend, tough engine! Kept the car pretty much original other than replacing the drum brakes with disc brakes, straight piped it and converted the dreaded vacuum operated headlights to electric.

Parted with this car on a fateful Monday morning while driving on the freeway to work; the transmission just blew out. I was devastated to say the least. Later that day I sold the Charger to my local junkyard for 160$... Seeing the new prices for these Chargers nowadays makes me regret ever selling it. Best Mopar ever!

Faults:

Nothing the buyer of a 30-year-old muscle car shouldn't expect. Front end worn out. Valve guides worn. Transmission shot. Incorrect parts everywhere. Cruel and unusual paint job in the engine bay, courtesy of previous owners who were apparently lacking a complete set of chromosomes.

It's all fixed now, no big deal.

General Comments:

Compared to the Charger, modern cars have lower emissions, better handling and brakes, better gas mileage, and are quieter and safer.

I couldn't care less. The Charger is a beautiful car and a blast to drive. It gets plenty of waves and shouts of "Nice car!"

Just don't try to drive a four-speed and eat a Big Mac at the same time...
