3rd gen guys: What is this?

[Dennis K]

I saw this car on the edge of a field on my way to my favorite junkyard  a few weeks ago. I don't know a whole lot about 3rd gen Chargers, and this is the best pic I could get, it's about a half a mile from the road. There was nobody home when I went to the house, and I wasn't about to walk out to the field and look at the car when nobody was home. Can any of you guys tell what year this one is by this pic? Or if there is anything special about it? Sorry I put this in the wrong forum, I was going to put it in the general q&a, not off-topic.

Looks like a '72.  Can't tell much more than that about.

Yup! Looks like a 72!

 Not a rallye version. As those would have door indentations and bulged hood.  Assuming the car has its original parts. {not likely someone would swap those out for the base model pieces}

[doctorpimp]

72 for sure:

[71charger_fan]

If it's got the same type marker lights in the rear as the front, it's a '72. If not, it's a '71 with at least one '72 front fender.

[ramit]

I think it is a 72 topper charger.

[REDNECK]

its a 72

[hemihead]

My guess is a 72 SE   

[Nacho-RT74]

Is a base model 72 with 318, 904 column shifter, 8 1/4 axle 3:23 axle ratio, assemblied at Lynch Road plant, with A/C, front bench 60/40 splitted back, AM radio, regular 3 spokes wheel, Standart Cluster with clock, Rear Deffog, lightning package ( buzzer, top of fender turn lights, ashtray light, map light and glove box light ), hideaways grilles and inside hood release.



































Just a joke 

Not an SE, a regular 72 with nice hideaways grilles ( who knows if factory installed )... Topper ? it could be.

[Charger_Fan]

Looks like he parked it there on a rainy day (wiper in the up position).
Looks pretty clean too, from here.

[red72chrgr]

Looks like my car except for hideaways. 72 for sure.

[Dennis K]

Thanks for the info, guys, I will try to find the owner at home someday and see if he wants to get rid of it. I'll keep you posted on what I find. Minnesota being what it is, I am not holding my breath hoping to find a solid car.

[TruckDriver]

Definatly a '72 Topper.

where in minnesota are you located?

  Are you guys sure it's a `72?   It could be a 71 SE couldn't it?  From the picture that I see it looks blurry enough to not be sure of the side marker lights and did a standard 72 come with hideaway headlamps....of course the owner could have installed the grille!

   I don't know....I guess i'm not convinced it's a `72.

[Dennis K]

where in minnesota are you located?   

I live near the town of Sanborn, the southwestern part of the state. It's midway between Redwood Falls and Windom along US highway 71.

[Nacho-RT74]

Sidemarkers are easily noticeable plastic ones over the body, not recesed ones with bezel

[andy74]

the rear window is the wrong one for an se,they are more squared off like mine

[AKcharger]

I think it's a '68

[defiance]

I thought 68's hideaways were slightly different

[Nacho-RT74]

I think it's a '68

no... is a 69... lok at the "I" center piece on grille

[Brock Samson]

I hope it hasn't been "Parked",.. Looks good to me...
maybe you can snag it for yourself or another devote.. 

[2fast4u]

the rear window is the wrong one for an se,they are more squared off like mine

   That would be true if it was a `72 Andy.....but if it were a `71 it could be an SE...right!?
