1973 Dodge Charger 4-Speed

Description

Dodge’s third-generation Charger brought bold styling and muscle car attitude into the 1970s, and the 1973 model year marked the final iteration before federal bumper regulations reshaped the design. While many Chargers of this era were optioned with automatic transmissions, this 340ci V8-equipped car stands out with its factory four-speed manual gearbox—making it a rare and desirable find for Mopar enthusiasts.

This 1973 Dodge Charger is finished in “Top Banana” yellow with black side stripes and a black vinyl roof. The seller states the car has received recent mechanical attention including a new fuel pump, master cylinder, and rear drum brakes. The seller notes all service records from their ownership are included.
