Vehicle Description
This 1972 Dodge Charger has a pretty mean look. But it earns it
with an upgrade to a mean 440 V8 and four-on-the-floor to control
all that power. So if you love muscle Mopar machines, you're
already hooked before you read the rest of the details on this
well-done coupe.
This one has a bold red that gets it noticed. And there's also a
dark side to this performance car with well-coordinated black on
the power bulge of the hood, rear panel, and side slats. Plus, the
dark grille within the deeply recessed front end really makes those
headlights look like glowing eyes. There are more great sporty
details, like the hood pins, 440 callouts, large exhaust tips, and
well-integrated rear spoiler. But we also love these third-gen
Chargers for the style within the sportiness. Both the front and
rear chrome bumpers are a well-done integral part of the design.
And this car's black vinyl roof may coordinate with the aggressive
darkness, but it also symbolizes vintage elegance.
Black is beautiful, and that's what this highly original-style
interior offers. You always find interesting components in a Mopar,
and it starts here with the front seats. The button-top design is
one of the most distinct and plushest you'll find in a coupe from
this era. And speaking of luxury, the black interior is tastefully
broken up by wood paneling on the door panels, center console, and
all across the dashboard. The Mopar Tuff three-spoke steering wheel
gives you a great view of the dash, which is important, because
everything is focused on the driver. And while it all looks quite
period-correct, right down to the AM/FM radio, you'll also pick up
on a few nice upgrades. For example, the auxiliary gauge trio under
the dash is quite handy. And the column-mounted Mopar tach goes
nicely with the iconic Hurst pistol grip shifter.
Under the hood is Mopar's 440 cubic-inch V8. The U-code in the VIN
tells us this was born with the mighty displacement, but the one
you see here is an updated unit for performance and flair. You can
tell they wanted this one on display with its very tidy look, right
down to the ribbed Mopar Performance valve covers. It also has been
built with the right go-fast goodies, like a four-barrel
carburetor, MSD ignition, and an Edelbrock intake. The long tube
headers add power while contributing to the rumble of the dual
exhaust. And best of all, you're in full control over this big
power and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual
transmission. This is made to be enjoyed, and so you have nice
driving features like a rear sway bar, power steering, and power
brakes with discs up front.
The sale comes with some nice paperwork, including the original
window sticker, owner's manual, and factory buildsheet. They say
it's Mopar or no car... call us today to find out why!
