By 1972, the Dodge Charger had a more sculpted look, with sweeping body lines, a distinctive split grille, and plenty of big-block muscle beneath the hood. This beautifully preserved 1972 Dodge Charger wears factory F3 Fiesta Green Poly paint with a contrasting black vinyl roof and matching green interior. With its numbers-matching drivetrain and service records, it offers an appealing look at early 1970s Mopar performance.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 400 cubic inch four-barrel big-block V8, paired with its numbers-matching A727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission. An 8-inch rear end handles the power, while dual exhaust provides the familiar Mopar V8 soundtrack. Power steering and power front disc brakes make this '72 Dodge Charger comfortable to drive.
The Fiesta Green Poly exterior highlights this big block Charger's muscular proportions, complemented by a black vinyl top, dual racing mirrors, and fender-mounted turn signal indicators. Fourteen-inch Mopar Rally wheels wear Cooper Cobra radial tires, maintaining the classic appearance of this well-optioned 1972 Charger.
Inside, green vinyl bucket seats flank a center console with a floor shifter, creating a sporty cabin with plenty of period character. Woodgrain accents add warmth to the dashboard, while factory air conditioning, a two-speed rear window defogger, and three-speed windshield wipers provide everyday convenience.
Finding a Dodge Charger that retains this much of its original character is increasingly rewarding. With its numbers-matching 400 big block, factory color combination, desirable equipment, and accompanying service records, this 1972 example is a wonderful reminder of the days when American muscle cars combined bold styling with effortless V8 power.
