That rear differential is a 8 1/4". Common in 72 and up cars and trucks. Still a good diff. If the intake manifold is a 2bbl with an adaptor for the 4bbl, the engine is most likely a 318. If the manifold is for a 4bbl, the engine is a 360.
I got 1 when I was 14. Still have it. Mind you I got in 2004 for $600 but it's about ready for the road now that finally gave it attention the last 3 months
Hats off to Taylor for her wise decision! That 74 might be nice for a classic ride for your kids one day. Pulling up to high school in it would surely turn some heads.
Ahaha looks and acts just like my 74. Though I'm going a different route with it now. Not a full testo but I'm bringing back to complete and neat piece by piece. Not gonna be a country beater anymore
might not be the bell of the ball that people are looking for but she is in great shape. I wouldnt mind seeing the ol girl get all gussied up and looking better
I think those slotted mags are factory painted but hey, if your girlfriend tells you no when thinking about selling an old muscle car then Taylor definitely a keeper!
I'd strip what you can off it and junk the husk. It's likely a 318 with an open 8 1/4 diff. The 318 is a good core for someone. Someone might want the 8 1/4 for a rat rod or something. The brackets, radiator, and some under hood stuff could go on eBay. The parts will fix other people's projects. The money can go toward a better project car.
@@samsonandrew7652 Thank you, Samson. I own an original 74 Charger and am a big fan of this body style. It was the slickest shape on the NASCAR circuit in its era, unlike the 1st and 2nd gen Chargers which had poor aero. Yours looks solid so have at it and don't listen to the haters of the 3rd gen.
Even tho it’s a 74 it’s worth fixing up if it’s not rusted out . There still worth a big buck because they are getting hard to find. I would paint it and redo the interior , refresh the drive train great winter project and good content . Then maybe sell it in the spring and put the money into your 69 . I had a 73 se charger with a 440 slap stick 727 it was a fun car .
Personally, I love the patina. I'd make it a sleeper, leave the body alone. Just clean it inside and out. Fix the seat so you don't look like Grandma driving it. But fix up the drive line, suspension 100%. Think Joe Dirt meets Mad Max. That or make it look like Richard Petty's 74 Charger race car.
I would restore it, I think it's cool. The trunk is good because the guy spilled oil everywhere. Is it the original engine? Edit: you think those slotted mags are factree painted.
