1972 Dodge Charger SE All Original Including Paint 48K Miles

An untouched All Original car with Original Paint, Interior, Engine/Transmission, just as sold new on 10-1-1971. This car was special ordered new in the fall of 1971 by Miss Perl R. Brown. Included with the sale is the original Window Sticker, Buyers Order, Manuals, and the Build sheet.
Y9 - Dark Gold Poly
S2Y3 - Tan Vinyl SE Seats
318 V8 with Torqueflite Automatic
Rallye Gauges
Factory Undercoating
Power Steering
This is a very Original Solid Car. There is Surface rust along most of the bottom of the car, please look at all the pictures. The frame rails are very solid, the rustproofing that was put on this car when new really saved it. I can send additional photos of specific areas if you request.
The paint is 45 years old, it is thin in spots, but does present itself very well for being original. The rockers and lower quarter panels on both sides have had some amateur paint in the wrong color sprayed on them years ago. The Glass and All Trim is near perfect. The Hideaway headlights only operate manually, probably need the motors rebuilt.
The interior is very nice as well. The dash pad is Faded and Cracked, the headliner has a few very small repairable holes. The carpet and seats are very well kept for the year.
The engine fires right up and sounds great. The transmission shifts well. Someone changed the rearend out to a 456 Sure Grip Posi-traction. Included is the Torque Converter from the car that the rear end came out of. As the car is now it runs great around town but isn't good for highway speeds. I do not have or know what happened to the original rear end.
If this ad is up the car is forsale. I do not need help selling this. Text is the best way to reach me. $9,900. This is a nice Original Car, Not Perfect, but they are only Original Once.

Odd it has the regular tail lights. The SE has chrome bezels on the lenses

Initially, to me, the car looks more like a normal Charger than the upscale SE model. I would think that most SEs were sold with optional wheels rather than std wheel covers, bucket seats and console, and something more than a 'std" V-8 engine. But it's all on the window sticker, as it is. I liked that color combination, back then. Would make somebody a nice car.

more to come...

"This is a nice Original Car," - No it isn't. It's been 'Chebyfied!

 

[68PK21 440.6bbl]

I know that is a standard part of the SE package but a 150mph speedo with a 318 & 4:56 gears will never see a pinout.

Don't believe the 48k mileage either, even though the engine bay has been steam(?) cleaned (valve covers) it still has too much road grime for a 48k car, unless those 48k miles were only spend driving this vehicle on Ohio winter roads.

"There is Surface rust along most of the bottom of the car, please look at all the pictures"

I did look at all the pictures, very limited underside pics, guess I got to call eh? NTY.

318
Automatic.

I couldn't be less excited.

I don'kno, I had my 1968 Fury III 'fleet build' well past the 120 mark long enough to see a pesky Torino disappear in my rear view mirror.

Yeah, with a 276, Not with a rear geared like that

 

[CBODY67]

Yep, saw the "SE" on the C-pillar, plus the window sticker, but it still looks like a normal Charger to me. Nothing special other than it's a "Charger". The optional vinyl bench seat tends to magnify that, to me. Saw the "SE" on the door panels, too. Plus the 150mph Rallye Cluster. Has all of the credentials, just not the expected upscale luxury of the SE package.

At this point, the low mileage is not that big of a deal. Many rubber items would need to be changed due to ethanol'd fuel use, low mileage of not. Put some 15x7 Rally wheels (or even some '76 Charger 15x6.5s), add some buckets and the SlapStick console shifter, Rallye Suspension, performance radials. How long with that OEM plastic-cogged timing chain last? "Time" or "miles"? Might have a 2.45 axle ratio, too. A plus with the OEM paint and vinyl top, but both would need re-doing, plus the body work items, for best results.

It COULD be a nice car, but as I said, the way it looks is "just a Charger", even with the "SE" badges. Sorry if you might disagree. Even the optional wire wheel covers would help it look the part.

It's the shape of the C-pillar

Look at the quarter windows

Yeah, looks like the whole bezel got painted black.
A low option SE in 71 and 72 would like like a plain Charger. A set of Rallys or Road wheels would help the looks a lot. The 73 & 74s had the unique louvered c pillar and vinyl top.

No for me it was with a 3:23 gear, bought the car in the dead of winter and the first thing that went into the car was a 3:23 SG spare chuck that I had. Then the brand new 14" studded snow tires on the rear went on the front (temporary) and my 15" studded snows went on the back, good to go for the snow covered roads. Always wanted to try a 2:9x gear on the 68 PK21 but they weren't that popular in the used want ads and the 3:23's were boggy/doggy enough from 0 to 60.

I think the timing chain and sprockets have already been replaced via the newly painted water pump & chain cover.

I could never get much top end out of my 318 with 276, 155 - 118 maybe. I was a kid then and the 318 was worn out by then anyway . It wasnt until I went big block that I knew what 140 was like

 

[67440NewYorker]

Ahhh man! I love 71-72 Chargers! But as soon as i see that SE side window i move on. Ive seen a few R/T and Rallye clones with the SE window and its a deal breaker for me. I feel bad...but i cant deal with that lame window. Only cool thing its got going for it is the close down headlights

 

[fury fan]

That's not 'I overflowed my radiator when refilling it', that stain is 'my radiator overflowed a bunch of ancient coolant '.

$9900 seems high, but 71-74 Charger prices are starting to climb.
If it had the rearend 'fixed' and Rallye wheels it would be a totally different situation.
Oh, and the leafsprings - this thing's higher than a cat's ***.
Oh, and that VT tear is kinda a killjoy to me.

 

[rapidtrans]

$9900 might work if it had a big block and air. Add Road wheels and I drive it as is. Those cars were great hwy cruisers.

 

[MrMoparCHP]

Here is 80k, documented.

also about 80k

also about 80k

90k or maybe 190k

My point is that even a well documented low mile car can still look like crap.

I buy what I see.
