1972 Dodge Charger Black Coupe

It rolled out of the Lynch Road assembly plant with a 318 V8 engine, but this 1972 Dodge Charger has undergone a 440-cubic-inch heart transplant. It also has an automatic transmission, a repainted exterior, hidden headlamps, a contemporary air conditioning system, and a black cloth interior with a split-bench front seat. The car is in “great overall condition,” according to the seller, who also notes the paintwork is “beautiful.” 

• The non-original 440-cu.in. OHV V8 features several performance upgrades.
• They include an Edelbrock aluminum intake and an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor.
• Aftermarket headers feed a custom dual-exhaust system with electronically controlled cut-outs.
• The engine also wears Mopar Performance valve covers and an aftermarket air cleaner.
• A TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission is matched with the 440 engine.
• The seller reports no powertrain issues or leaks.
• Photos also show the car has an 8.25-inch rear axle.
• A repaint of the exterior in black is said to have a “beautiful” finish.
• The exterior chrome, as well as the grille with hidden headlamps, also appear straight and clean.
• Inside, the black cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in fabric and vinyl.
• There’s little apparent wear in the seat covers or carpet.
• The dash pad, headliner, and additional interior trim also appear in very good condition.
• No issues are reported with the gauges, radio or air conditioning system.
• The car also has power steering and power brakes.
• Aftermarket aluminum wheels are shod with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.

• Nothing additional is included.

• The right-side outside door handle reportedly sticks and can be difficult to open.
• Some moderate wear and scuffs are seen on the driver’s door panel.

• This vintage B-body Charger was produced at Chrysler’s Lynch Road plant with a 318 V8 engine.
• The original engine has been replaced with a 440 V8 backed by an automatic transmission.
• Performance upgrades include an Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock carburetor, and headers.
• The exterior has been repainted black and the finish is said to be “beautiful.”
• The black interior appears very clean and in stock-appearing condition, with air conditioning.

The seller states that this vehicle will be sold on a clean California title in his name. Mechanically and cosmetically, this 1972 Dodge Charger is said to be in very good condition — and its performance has received a boost with a 440 big-block engine in place of the original 318.
