Great color combo. At first I thought you had the year wrong. I've never seen JA5 on anything other than a 73. I looked it up on Hamtramck-Historical and sure enough...it was available in 74 on the Charger. It was a one year only color on the A and E bodies.(1973)

These are US numbers, so if it's a Canadian car it would not be included in the above.

Also, the 360 was available in the SE - 802 US-spec cars were were built, according to Galen's White Book.

I thought you said it had a perfect dash pad??? Looks pretty wasted in the photo. Those are almost impossible to find good - they were tough 30 years ago.

well I have the car in primer now. I sanded it down to bare metal and then primed it. No body work or filler work yet. car is very straight. I also cleaned and under coated the bottom with black rubberized undercoat.
Found the factory tip hangers still in place? The diff is 8 3/4 with 323 suregrip.

You need to start a new thread in the "Restoration/Projects" section!

Good point! I think I read somewhere to assume ~30% for Canada made. (fendertag should show this)

Yes, 360's were an option for SEs. Just not the "L" coded for high performance.
