I am the son of the ORGINAL OWNER of this authentic 1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye with LOW MILEAGE, ORIGINAL PAINT (no rust through), ORIGINAL VINYL TOP, and ORIGINAL INTERIOR (original spare tire has never been out of the trunk). The car is unmolested, in 95% original condition, and has been in storage since 1976 when my parents married and started a family. All original documentation (sales brochure, build sheet, etc.) is available and all serial numbers match. I still have the vast majority of original parts that were upgraded in 1974, all of which will be sold with the vehicle should the buyer wish to restore to factory grade.
Recent pictures of the car can be found at the following: http://72challenger.shutterfly.com/
My father had a custom Rajay Series "E" turbocharger and positraction rear end installed in 1974 by a well known and respected automotive engineer in Akron, OH by the name of Chuck Wright. Chuck was a major player on various engine programs for each of the "Big 3" in years past and operates ProCar Associates in Akron, OH to this day (http://www.procarassociates.com). I spoke with Chuck in July 2012 and he vividly remembered the car as a "rocket sled" with drivability even without having seen it in 38 years (I actually transported the car to his facility a few weeks later for an event). Chuck granted me permission to use his name in the sale of the vehicle and reiterated that it is not an ordinary car.
Note: The black color visible in the engine compartment is not rust or grease - it is Ziebart rust proof applied in 1972. I considered detailing the engine compartment but was strongly advised not to do so since it represents the car in its original 1970's condition (vintage coins aren't polished for fear of diminished authenticity).
Engine:
- 318 2-Bbl (220 CFM, Rochester) with 325HP+ @ wheels
- Rajay Series "E" Turbocharger (custom installation - NOT A KIT!)
- 10.5 lbs boost (fixed) w/ water injection after 6 lbs of boost
- Stainless steel 2 1/2" O.D. exhaust Y-pipe (also supports turbo housing)
- Single exhaust/1st design Corvair Spyder low-restriction muffler
Transmission:
- TorqueFlite 3-Speed "manual shift" automatic (no clutch)
- 3.23 Positraction Rear End (still have original 3.23 Ring & Pinion)
Mileage:
- 26,412 miles (never disconnected or turned back)
- If not for a trip to Texas, California and Washington in 1973 (8,500 miles round trip) it would be below 20,000 miles
- Driven from 1972 to 1976
- Stored from 1976 to present (indoors)
Price:
- Asking $33,500 (NADA = $35,000)
- Turbo customization is valued at approximately $8,000 by Chuck Wright as of July, 2012

Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.
