Description

Price: US $49,590 (CAD $69,990 at the dealer).

1972 Dodge Charger Rallye 440 Resto Mod. 440 bored and stroked to an eye watering 505 cubic inches with aluminum heads, roller rockers, high volume oil pump with remote swinging pick up. There’s a high-rise intake, 950 cfm Quickfuel street/strip carb and so many more goodies like MSD ignition and billet pulleys. Now sports a 4-core aluminum rad with electric fans for some competitive cooling.

Power steering ceramic tight tube headers with custom 2.5” dual exhaust. It’s backed by an SST TKO Tremec 5-speed. The hear end is an 8 ¾ unit with 3.91 posi gears in a 742 case. Stopping power comes from Power 4-wheel Baer disc brakes with all new brake lines front to back.

The suspension set up is now fully adjustable tubular upper control arms, adjustable strut rods, new gas shocks and polyurethane bushings all around plus new front and rear sway bars. Riddler wheels fit the look with 20x10’s out back and 18x8’s up front. There’s BFG G-force Comp-2 tires all around with 285/35/20’s on back and 245/40/18 on the front.

Completing the style are LED headlights and taillights. The plum crazy purple paint is to notch! When the car arrived the exterior decals were white, but that’s been transformed to black now, and a rear wing also added on the trunk lid. The interior was also white, but the gang here transformed it back to black to suit the car and new exterior black decals.

The seat covers, front and back and carpets are all new. There are stock gauges with an aftermarket tach, oil pressure and volt gauges and a pistol grip shifter to complete the look. The Hood features the Air Grabber flap, but it’s now run on an electric motor, rather than vacuum to make it 100% reliable.

Hideaway headlights are cool. Quad exhaust pipes out the back both look good and sound great! Car had A/C from factory, but now that’s all been removed except for the dash controls. Super sweet ride. 8000 miles on the clock, but with a 5-digit odometer, true milage is unknown.

The Dodge Charger is one of American muscle's most iconic silhouettes, a fastback bruiser with a long hood, a short tail, and a HEMI option that still makes hearts race. From its 1966 debut through the B-body generation, the Charger defined what a performance car could look like.

Dodge Charger Buyer's Guide

Mike Sullivan here, and the Dodge Charger needs no introduction. When people picture American muscle, they picture a Charger. The fastback roofline, the hidden headlights, the long hood, it's a design that photographers have been chasing since the day it rolled out of the Hamtramck assembly plant. Add a 440 or a 426 HEMI and you have a car that still makes professional racers nervous at stoplights.

The Charger's story runs from 1966 through 1978, but the definitive generation is the B-body era of 1968–1970. These are the cars that Bullitt and The Dukes of Hazzard made iconic, and they remain among the most sought-after, and most carefully scrutinized, classic cars in the market.

What to Check Before Buying

✓

VIN Verification , Confirm the VIN identifies a Charger, not a Coronet or Super Bee converted to Charger spec.

✓

Broadcast Sheet / Fender Tag , Obtain the Broadcast Sheet or decode the Fender Tag to verify original powertrain and options, use a Chrysler documentation specialist.

✓

Engine Number , Verify the engine number against the Broadcast Sheet: HEMI numbers are well-documented and forgeries exist.

✓

Trunk Floor Rust , Inspect the entire trunk floor from inside and beneath, this is the most common structural rust location.

✓

Lower Quarter Panels , Check behind the rear wheels on the lower quarter panels, probe with a pick tool, not just visual inspection.

✓

Floor Pans , Inspect front and rear floor pans from underneath, lift the carpet and check from inside as well.

✓

Hidden Headlight Mechanism , Cycle the headlights several times, both should open and close fully without grinding or hesitation.

✓

Torsion Bar Suspension , Check for worn torsion bars (front sag) and deteriorated front-end bushings, common on higher-mileage cars.

✓

440/HEMI Specifics , On big-block cars, run the engine to full operating temperature and listen for detonation, lifter noise, or timing issues.

✓

Body Alignment , Check all panel gaps, uneven gaps indicate previous collision work or a composite car assembled from multiple vehicles.

Common Issues

Clone cars built from lower-value Coronet or base Charger shells, verification is essential. Trunk floor rust and lower rear quarter corrosion behind the wheel openings. Floor pan perforation under the rear seat on unrestored cars. Hidden headlight mechanism corrosion and failure. Torsion bar front suspension wear on high-mileage cars. Cracked 440 exhaust manifolds from heat cycling. HEMI-specific maintenance items: dual-point distributor adjustment, dual-carburetor synchronization, and aluminum intake corrosion.

What to Look For

Verify powertrain documentation (Broadcast Sheet or Fender Tag) before paying any performance premium, clone cars are prevalent. Check the VIN to confirm it is a Charger body (not a clone from Coronet or Super Bee). Inspect the trunk floor and lower quarters behind the rear wheels for structural rust. Check the floor pans under both front and rear seats. Verify the hidden headlight mechanism operates smoothly, corrosion here is common. On HEMI cars, verify the engine number against known casting patterns and the Broadcast Sheet.

Price Guide

Did You Know?

The 1969 Dodge Charger 500 and Charger Daytona were built specifically for NASCAR homologation: Dodge needed to sell enough street cars to qualify them for racing. The Daytona's rear wing was tall enough to allow the trunk lid to open. The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard (1979–1985) was a 1969 Charger, and the show reportedly destroyed more than 300 Chargers during production, contributing to the reduced supply of affordable examples. The 426 HEMI's official 425 horsepower rating was widely understood to be conservative; many automotive journalists of the era estimated actual output at 500–550 horsepower.
