Vehicle Description
In the world of collector cars, some classics tend to overshadow
their peers. If you're shopping Chevelles, you're probably looking
for an LS6 Super Sport. If you're shopping Mustangs, you're
probably looking for a first-generation coupe. And if you're
shopping Chargers, you're probably looking for something between
1968 and 1970. That's a somewhat sad, but beneficial, phenomenon.
Sad because it means a lot of great cars just don't get the respect
they deserve. Beneficial because a lot of fine metal, like this
classy 1972 Charger SE, can be purchased for very reasonable
prices. As charming as it is cool, this award-winning hardtop wraps
an original 400/3-speed drivetrain in warm blue aesthetics that are
guaranteed to turn heads. It's the perfect way for any enthusiast
to grab a neat old car and enjoy every aspect of the hobby!
BODY
Much nicer than when it rolled off Chrysler's St. Louis assembly
lines, this slick hardtop is the beneficiary of a no-expense-spared
rotisserie restoration that wrapped correct Powder Blue 2-stage
around a largely original profile. That profile shows no signs of
significant repair, suggesting it was a straight, trouble-free
canvas before the car's metamorphosis began. Panel gaps are good
enough to make painted pinstripes line up exactly right. Fresh
chrome and highly polished stainless look great under bright
emblems and a tight vinyl top. And overall, this fully sorted Dodge
is a unique representation of a more luxurious era of Motor City
mayhem!
DRIVETRAIN
Lift this Dodge's long hood and you'll find Chrysler's stalwart,
400 cubic inch B V8 that, introduced to replace the firm's
venerable 383, is a popular choice for high performance builds
thanks to its big bore, proven strength and excellent
interchangeability. Behind that original mill, an original A727
TorqueFlite spins a 10-bolt axle. That smooth drivetrain feeds a
fully sorted front torsion bar and rear leaf suspension that's
shackled to factory power steering. Cool and confident stops are
provided by a correct combination of power-assisted discs and
power-assisted drums. Exhaust floats through a factory-style pipe
and traditional turbo muffler. And at the corners of the floors,
Powder Blue steelies spin G78-14 BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls
around red-trimmed poverty caps.
INTERIOR
Swivel this coupe's level doors and you'll find a correct Bright
Blue interior that reflects the luxurious push of early 1970s
America. Broad seats, a split bench up front and traditional bench
out back, are wrapped in pliable vinyl covers that display hardly
any signs of wear. In front of those thrones, a wood-trimmed dash
hangs rebuilt telemetry above factory air conditioning and a
Chrysler Solid State radio. In front of the driver, an ornate,
color-keyed steering wheel laps a traditional column shifter. And
behind the passengers, a nicely finished trunk features a correct
jack and spare tire.
