Vehicle Description
This authentic 1972 Dodge Charger 440 Magnum is a great example of
a seldom-seen Mopar muscle car. It was meticulously restored with
an open checkbook over the course of several years. It was truly a
labor of love by Mr. Dennis Yauger, who is no longer with us today.
This was his pride and joy. It's one of only 785 "U-code" models
built in 1972, which included the 440 4-barrel Magnum
High-Performance V8 engine. As the VIN number indicates, it was
built in Lynch Road, MI. As the original Fender Tag indicates, it
had a production date of October 29, 1971, and was ordered with the
following options: gold exterior, full black vinyl roof, black
bucket seats with console interior, air conditioning, 440 4-barrel
V8 engine, 26-inch radiator and automatic transmission. During the
refurbishment process most of the exterior sheet metal was replaced
new, including a Charger Rallye hood. The body was professionally
worked to ensure it was straight with excellent gap lines. The
hood, doors and trunk lid close nicely. The car was refinished in
gold with black accents on the hood, side panels and rear end. The
color looks amazing on this body style. The deep paint was recently
detailed to a show-quality finish. It was outfitted with a new full
black vinyl roof, which adds character. All of the glass is in very
condition throughout. Everything on the exterior was restored or
replaced, such as the glass stainless trim, wipers, dual mirrors,
front grille, headlights, front spoiler, door handles, rear spoiler
and taillights. The original front and rear bumpers were sent to be
rechromed. The car rolls on correct 14-inch wheels with NOS chrome
trim rings and Goodyear Wide Tread F70-14 tires. An extra set of
five correct 14-inch wheels with BFGoodrich radial TA 225-70-14
tires are included. The black interior was completely refinished to
its glory days. Some of the restored or replaced trim pieces
include the headliner, sun visors, rearview mirror, steering wheel,
door sills, door panels, window rollers and pedals. The original
dash was sent out to be professionally restored. The bucket seats
were refoamed and reupholstered. It's equipped with seat belts for
all passengers. Some of the interior features include the simulated
wood-grained instrument panel and console, Rallye gauges, radio and
modern Classic Auto Air conditioning. The new black carpeting was
dressed with custom floor mats. The painted trunk compartment was
beautifully refinished, including the factory-correct stickers on
the backside of the decklid. It's equipped with a
factory-correct-style trunk mat, matching full-size spare and jack
tools. The painted engine compartment is highly detailed throughout
with many correct parts. Everything in the engine bay was restored
or replaced. It's powered by the original matching-numbers 440
4-barrel Magnum V8 engine. The engine was completely rebuilt with
high-quality internal parts for better performance and reliability.
It's fed through an Edelbrock Performer intake and 600 cfm
carburetor. It was dressed with orange valve covers and a
dual-snorkel air cleaner. The engine is cooled by a correct-style
26-inch radiator. The engine breathes through correct-style
manifolds and a custom 3-inch exhaust with Dynomax mufflers, which
sounds awesome. The engine is coupled to a rebuilt automatic
transmission that shifts smoothly. The painted undercarriage is
also highly detailed throughout with many correct parts. The power
steering system, suspension components and braking system were all
gone through. An owner's manual and car cover are included. This
car was recently serviced and detailed, which is documented with an
invoice that's included. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
