Dodge was a bit late to the pony car game with the Challenger nameplate entering the scene in 1970. The Challenger was relatively short-lived too, running from 1970 to 1983 in just two generations, before 2008 saw the current-generation debut, and continue in production. The first-generation Challenger was based on Chrysler’s E-Body, and had a sister car in the shape of the Plymouth Barracuda. If you’re one of those people who want a classic Challenger, this 1972 Dodge Challenger Coupe is a great example to consider.
The styling work of Charles Cameron, the first-generation Challenger carries many of the design cues that the current generation faithfully pays homage to. This 1972 Dodge Challenger Coupe wears a three-tone paint job. The bottom half is in gloss black, whilst the top half contrasts wildly with a bright canary yellow hue. Separating the two colors on either side of the car is a thick red stripe. Period wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial T/A tires, and black spoiler on the rear trunk lid complete the outlook. If the 440 Six Pak white decal on either side isn’t enough of a hint, the massive matte black hood scoop should tell you that this Challenger packs the largest engine ever offered on the range. Another interesting piece is the external hood-mounted tachometer that the driver can view through the windshield. The interior rocks a black color theme and offers seating for four occupants. A Grant steering wheel, some shift lights and auxiliary gauges have been added as well. To the left of the steering wheel is a control panel for heating and air conditioning but its functioning status is not known. A chunky Sidewinder shifter for the three-speed automatic gearbox takes pride of place between the two front seats.
This 1972 Dodge Challenger Coupe is powered by the 440ci (7.2L) V8 with Six Pack option, comprising three two-barrel carburetors. Power rating for the time was a conservative 380hp, as it’s suspected that the engine was pushing out well over 400hp when new. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission that can be manually shifted via the Sidewinder shifter in the cabin. This car has reportedly had its carburetors newly cleaned.
