    Anyone buying it would have to toughen up their feet first for braking!

    Looks like a project for 'Graveyard Cars'. Last of that era's resemblance Charger body style which I had a personal connection to. The 440 SE Brougham was a pretty nice car.

    I always liked the metal flake brown color that Dodge/Plymouth had back then. Unique. Not many cars like it.

    As for the project car :badidea: - melt it down! There’s nothing left to restore.

    Yes, yes and yes! The Cuda's and Challenger's looked awesome in that color also, particularly combined with the black vinyl top. Despite the Charger's weight and reduced hp in 73 the 440 could easily light-up those G60's.

    Loved that color! 73 Dart Swinger 318 A/T drove it out of the showroom the day I bought it at Peoples Dodge,Allentown, PA
