Trade for 73 Challenger
 

So I have the opportunity to trade my pro street 68 camaro for a mostly stock 73 Challenger. I like the challenger except the grill. Will a 70 grill fit on a 73? I think the Challenger may be a better car for me to make into a pro touring car because my camaro is back halfed. Have many of these cares been built? How’s the aftermarket support?

Its not a bolt on fit from what i read it takes a bit a fabrication to adapt the 70 grill to the 72-74 front fenders.

Do you have any pictures of your car?

here are some. I will try to find more tonight after i get off work.

Looks good. How much is that lowered? What size wheels?

Not sure how much I lowered it but the wheel sizes are 18x10 rear and 17x8 front.

Well there is nothing wrong with a back halved camaro. That just means you can run 18x12's and do a nice 4 link setup designed towards handling if it doesn't already have one.. Bad Penny started out that way (not sure if it has a full back half) but i would say it would be nice to start with a car that's already tubbed and back halved.. Just do a subframe and nice front suspension and a killer set of wheels and tires..

it's not that hard to do the grille swap,

Since we can't see your Camaro in this thread -- We can't really compare your trading stock...

I'd just beware of the dreaded RUST in these older Mopar bodies -- IMHO they were MUCH worse than the similar Camaro or Ford... Mopars just seem to be really rust prone...

Oh -- I can hear the Mopar guys already... They're lining up to tackle that statement. :yes: :yes:

Having said the above - I'd take that Mopar for a PT build over your 67 Camaro - just because they're always kool -- and have such great lines.

:cheers:

Nice save Greg!:rofl: Those Mopar guys can be a tough crowd.....:D


Do you have pictures of both cars involved in the trade?
