Nice ride!
Thanks. I've owned it for about 18 months. Was a low miles ,1 owner ( lady) car from a small town in east Texas. The son started restoring it, had a heart attack and passed away. Engine,trans., suspension rebuilt, new Legendary interior, flow master exhaust system.Was originally poly gold. Has body filler on passenger rear wheel well and a crappy 20 footer paint job. I've added a 500 cfm Edelbrock to replace the leaking AFB and have a D4B intake for it. Also added front disc power brakes. It is the 273 hp,904, 7 1/4 3:55. Would be in heaven if it was a 4 spd. LOL. Plan is to have the paint and body repair done this winter. Runs extremely well and fast enough for a baby boomer.

My '65 GT was a hand-me-down, have owned for 15 years. My Aunt bought it new in '65, drove it until she was 91, then handed me the keys. It's all original except for the few upgrades I have installed. Disc brakes on the front, new springs on the rear, and Ralley wheels. Pics below, the"273 4BBL" decal is aspirational. I have been looking for an Edelbrock D4B, where did you find yours?
Happened to be looking on Ebay when it was just listed. Snapped it up for $100.

$100, that's a great buy! Hope I am as lucky...
Nothing on that engine says Charger except the pie pan. Are you sure it's a 273 HP?
I had a HP engine that some previous owner had converted into a low compression engine, so it's possible you have a HP engine that someone has replaced all the Charger trim with 2 barrel stuff. The fender tag will tell.

I am sure it is NOT a HP 273. If you read the text before the pics I said the decal was “aspirational”. Meaning, some day it hopes to be a HP motor. We all need goals in life......
