A new roofline appeared on the 1973 Dodge Charger |
1973 Dodge Charger
Again in 1973, the Charger was an intermediate model. The grille was slightly revised and the new taillights featured 22 individual lenses. The most noticeable change thought was probably the new roof line around the quarter windows. The new window line was more conservative than previous years, but was received well by the consumers. The Charger Rallye option was still available and came with a 318 standard. However you could still get the 440-cid 4 BC engine.1973 Dodge Charger Specification and Production
