For Sale: 1972 Dodge Dart in Statesville, North Carolina

HIGHLIGHTS: • The Pro-street Look: Aggressive drag-inspired stance built on a factory V8 classic Mopar chassis. • Big Block Mopar Power: Features a 451ci stroker V8 (built from a 400ci block). • Street-Friendly Drivetrain: Torqueflite 727 automatic transmission mated to a manageable street setup. • Premium Rolling Stock: Weld Racing wheels wrapped in fat Mickey Thompson rear tires (2024 date code). • Custom Pearl Paint: Finished in Powder White Diamond Pearl with a classic black tail stripe. • Race-Inspired Interior: Features a full roll cage, Corbeau racing buckets, and racing harnesses. • Civilized Exhaust: Custom four-muffler setup that delivers a deep rumble without the deafening drone. BODY OVERVIEW: This '72 Dart Swinger perfectly captures the golden era of ""Pro-Street"" car culture. Unlike many heavily modified cars, the main body remains largely unmodified, retaining its classic, clean Mopar silhouette. The sheet metal is straight and the undercarriage is solid, providing an excellent foundation. The Weld wheels and wide rear Mickey Thompsons give it an intimidating stance that looks ready for the drag strip, even though it was built to rule the local boulevard. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The exterior is finished in Powder White Diamond Pearl, a custom color that absolutely glimmers and pops under direct natural sunlight. Showroom Note:This is an older, honest repaint completed in 2007. While it shows beautifully outside, it is a driver-quality finish that reveals minor age-related imperfections, light scratches, and small bubbles upon close inspection under indoor showroom lighting. It is a fantastic, worry-free choice for a car meant to be driven and enjoyed. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior strikes a perfect balance between race-day aesthetics and street usability. The cockpit features black racing bucket seats, a full roll cage, Corbeau safety harnesses, and a Turbo Action Cheetah SCS floor shifter. The door panels, carpets, and dash present very well for a mature build, showing only minor wear on the driver's seat bolster and a slightly cloudy lens on the fuel pressure gauge. A custom white steering wheel ties the interior to the pearl exterior beautifully. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood is a 451ci Mopar big block stroker engine equipped with Indy aluminum cylinder heads, an Indy aluminum intake manifold, a 4-barrel Holley carburetor, and MSD ignition. Power is fed through a dependable 727 automatic transmission. While it looks like a high-maintenance race car, this Dart is highly civilized. Thanks to a clever exhaust system utilizing four total mufflers (including Flowmaster and Hushpower units), it retains a deep big-block tone without giving you a headache on longer cruises. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: • All of the Look, None of the Drama: A full Pro-Street aesthetic wrapped in a manageable, street-legal package you can actually drive to local car shows. • Civilized Big Block: The unique exhaust setup means you can cruise town without annoying the neighbors or the local police. • Solid Mopar Foundation: A clean, straight factory V8 car with a very honest underbody. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: • Built for the Street, Not the Trophy: While it features a stroker motor, the setup is tuned for street cruising rather than competitive bracket racing. • No Factory Creature Comforts: In true hot-rod style, there is no factory heating, A/C, or fuel gauge installed. DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? The reverse lights do not work. There is no heat or A/C installed, in true race car style. This car mostly needs a new owner looking for a good time! • The reverse lights are currently inoperative. • The factory tachometer and fuel gauge are not connected/operational (aftermarket gauge pod monitors vitals). • The front tires have good tread but unknown date codes; replacement is recommended for highway driving. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This Dart is built for the enthusiast who loves the aggressive, muscular look of a Pro-Street machine but wants something reliable enough to take to Friday night cruise-ins or local cars and coffee events. If you want the stance, the roll cage, and the big-block sound without the high-strung headaches of a dedicated track car, this Mopar is ready to roll.
