I love the 73 and 74 models with the louvers, im basing off my modern 2017 charger off of them by giving it some throwback styling ques.

This isn't Roadkill , this is the spinoff Roadkill Garage so you're right , it isn't the same.
I had a 74 SE with black leather seats, floor shift, and a 4bl 400 from the factory. The last GOOD big block B-body. A friend of mine owns it now. Ive also had a 71 and a 68 R/T, 3 Satellites, and many other Mopars.
Dulcich’s new teeth are hysterical!!

It's nice to see the unwanted by collectors 1972-74 Chargers being put back on the road restored or repaired. The only big engineering change was insulating the K frame with rubber isolators. [Update; and rear iso-springs and the transmission mount].

I’ve got a 1973 Dodge Charger SE I’m restoring with my dad and it’s got a freshly rebuilt 440 that’s hasn’t been ran yet this episode is my favorite, one question I got is how can I found out what the car came with originally? It has the plaque on the left driver fender but where can I go to find out?

The Fifth digit in the VIN will tell you what engine came with the car. Letters B, C, E are 6's, G- 318, H-340, K-360, M&P-400, one is 2bbl, the other is 4bbl. T&U-440, U being the Hi Perf.

still a bad assl looking charger
At the louvers on the window it looks like it's a Charger SE?
I was “Like” number 1000. You’re welcome.

Cool. My first car was a 1974 dodge charger. Loved it. Kept breaking front turn signals and beating up the valance. It liked to jump. Way to many good times.

Not the same without David Freiburger
These guys should have show called buzkill. Roadkill isn't Roadkill without Freiburg, Finnigan, or Tony
Funny how motor trend kills everything it touches like discovery!!! They ran off Finnegan, friburger is touch and go, now they got dulcidge and Chris birdsong trying to save the views and bring more people. Give us back the real roadkill. Not this spin off

So Yea, your right, I'm not a dodge charger kinda guy, i like everything that has an engine.
Just shows, go buy what you like and can afford and have fun.
Never realized chargers were so slow . That’s a lie , some chick I knew in schools older brother had one minus the small block. It was faster than you think when traction was available.
Dulcich and road courses don't mix
No David, no roadkill, Steve’s cool but this is a joke
My bad , it was a 70 .
The torsion bar front suspension was and still is superior to the unequal length control arms, upper control arm/spring designs,...... and this car is worn out!
Needs a healthier engine sound. Drop a 400 in it.
