@@jfu5222 It's a shame. Third gens get abused more than they have a right to. I have a bone stock 74 318 that I cherish. 49k miles, unrestored. Probably one of handful remaining that are unmolested and preserved for future generations to hopefully enjoy when the time comes for me to pass it on.
Based on the HOC website, this was a 318 V8 car originally. With the VIN, you win: W for Dodge Charger, H for High price class, 23 for two door hardtop, G for 318 V8 with two barrel, 1 for 1971 model year, G for St. Louis, MO assembly (Fenton) and the rest is the production sequence. The Fenton complex opened in 1959 and closed in 2009. For a time, it was a minivan plant until production was moved exclusively to Windsor, Ontario Canada where it remains today.
Mine came with a 383, 727 and the 8 3/4 rear. 3:23 rear gears. I put a 440 in it with six pack pistons from a 69 roadrunner. 871 street avenger carb on a torker manifold. Thorley nickel headers ect. Wish I still had it but got sick and sold it. God I miss my car😢
@@glennsims66 Chrysler made some raw powertrains that were unbeatable. Unfortunately they handled like crap and and they were saddled with crappy carburetion and ignition. Their AC systems were second to none though when working properly. The V series AC compressor was an absolute snow cone.
This looks absolutely amazing, they tried to ruin the Charger in the 70’s just like the Road Runner. The only way to save them was with some modifications like this….👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The Government ruined them and most other "muscle cars" of the times, with all of their "regulations" but it was a great era, to be, and to own an American Muscle Car!!
@@Cornmolio Thank you for elaborating. The most I've would've assumed without driving either is for example: Probably those 3rd gens had bigger blindspots. Still, I'm slightly biased to the style of the 3rd gen (that 4th gen was kind of a Monte Carlo wannabe) much like how I prefer the 70' Camaro over the much loved 69'.
