My New Toy!!!!! (72 Charger)

[jaak]

Who says good deals still aren't out there, Here is my new toy I bought yesterday, its a 72 Charger, really solid the only rust is on the lower right of the deck lid, these are the most solid quarters I have ever seen zero rust. It has a 318\2BBL, automatic, hideaway headlights, ralley guages, dual chrome sport mirrors, factory power disc brakes and AC (non-working right now) They guy I bought it from has only had it a couple of months, but said the lady he got it from bought it new. The interior is pretty much trashed but all there. The 318 runs but needs some tuning up, I drove it 25 miles home. I plan on using it as a driver. I needed a running mopar while working on the 69. Here are some pics

Cool deal You cant beat that for $850

[terrible one]

You definitely stole that one! Tune up that 318 and get it all the same color and be good to go!

Wow! Nice score Bro.

Wow, that's what It cost to fill my work truck up with gas.  Love the hideaways.   Super deal.

[TruckDriver]

NICE score!   

Is that a S.E.? or a Topper with the vinyl top removed? I can't tell by the picture angles.

sweet deal!!, I gave $500 for a 74 that didn't run for parts.  $850 for a running charger.  You could thow a $399 Maaco job on her drive it until the 69 was done,  sell it for a few grand, or if your like me you will grow attached to it and just have a extra charger

[jaak]

Thanks!!! As far as a vinyl top, it had one of those half tops, someone done removed it, but the trim was inside the car in nice condition.

What is a "Sales Bank" car, that was one of the codes on the fender tag.

nice score.  I believe a Sales Bank car is a car that is ordered by a dealer for stock.

[TruckDriver]

You got yourself a "Topper" Charger then Nuttin' special though.

Good score man!!! I'd paint it flat black and hit the roads

Hmm why don't you do that Cody? 

[Foreman72]

hey this is wild...we hav the same car...the one you described is identical to the one i own...even the color and the condition...altho my interior is a little better off i think...probably has something to do w/ the fact that its dealer stock car haha...thats sweet to meet someone with the same car i hav...haha...let me know how it turns out and what you do with it what kinda look r u going for? or is this just a whatever till the 69 is pumping? anyways, congrats on owning a fine vehicle

[Kevin68N71]

It's funny, I used to turn my nose up on any 318, 360 or smog motor.  Now I have a def. appreciation for these coupes and other "standard" models.  A 318 will go forever!

Very nice buy. Everyone should have a 2nd and 3rd gen Charger. 

And welcome to the site, Foreman 72!

[NHCharger]

Sweet deal. I agree with Husk. Get the Macco special and hit the road.

[BlaineKaiser450]

good deal   

[Brock Samson]

or a third gen road runner... wait,..  is it a third gen?...

[mikesbbody]

great score 

[andy74]

great job! a sales bank car just meansit was built with out a customer or dealer order-pretty common practice with chrysler then and now,keeps the production lines moving,and they sell them to the dealers eventually!

[Foreman72]

Very nice buy. Everyone should have a 2nd and 3rd gen Charger. 

yeah so many people r all about the 69's and all...i mean there sweet but i think tha look of the 3rd gen is not 2 b overlooked...

[BROCK]

Looks good Jason, Hit me up if you need any help with your 72. I have a done original 73 SE with a 318 and A/C. So, if you need to know any pictures of what goes where, let me know. 72 and 73 should be pretty close to the same.
