Restored 1972 dodge challenger filmed by #moparbro fred_eazy25 at Motorama 2025 The 1972 Dodge Challenger was part of the first generation of Challengers (1970-1974), Dodge’s answer to the pony car craze dominated by the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. It was based on Chrysler’s E-body platform, shared with the Plymouth Barracuda, but had a longer wheelbase for a more aggressive stance. History & Changes for 1972 By 1972, federal regulations and emissions laws were tightening, leading to a reduction in horsepower ratings across the board. Dodge also revised the Challenger’s front-end styling and safety features: The grille was now a split design with a more recessed look, nicknamed the "sad mouth" grille. The tail lights were changed to a more segmented look. SAE net horsepower ratings replaced the previous gross ratings, which made horsepower numbers appear lower even if performance remained similar. Bumper guards were added to comply with federal safety regulations.

Today, a well-preserved or restored 1972 Challenger can fetch $35,000 to $75,000+, depending on condition and originality. For 1972, Dodge discontinued the Challenger R/T trim and replaced it with the Challenger Rallye due to declining muscle car sales and rising insurance costs. However, if you're looking for R/T-style performance, the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T was the last true R/T of the first generation. For more #Mopar & #challenger content please subscribe!
