1972 Dodge Charger Additional Info:

This 1972 Chrysler Charger, a distinguished sibling to the Dodge Charger, hails from the sunburnt roads of Australia. It stands as a remarkable tribute to the Charger R/T lineage, powered by a potent 265 Hemi engine sporting a 4-barrel carburetor. Notably, this Charger boasts a unique Right Hand Drive configuration, accompanied by a factory-installed 4-speed manual transmission on the floor.Its transoceanic journey began two decades ago when it crossed the Pacific to embark on a tour of the United States under the care of Mark Arblaster, a writer for Street Machine Magazine. Mark's mission was to explore and report on the American car scene. At the conclusion of this voyage, the Charger found its way into your possession.While its American adventure took an unfortunate turn when a careless drunk driver T-boned the vehicle, it's a testament to its resilience that no injuries occurred. In a commendable display of dedication, you chose restoration over a cash settlement, initiating a meticulous 2.5-year process. This involved importing a complete front end from its Australian homeland and ensuring thorough, expert repairs were made. Fortunately, the structural integrity of the frame remained intact, allowing for a full exterior rejuvenation.Since its restoration, this Charger has been cherished, residing indoors and making appearances at local Mopar Shows, such as the Spring & Fall Fling in Southern California. Its Right Hand Drive configuration is a conversation starter, drawing inquisitive enthusiasts who are fascinated by its unique attributes.Notably, this Charger is fully compliant with legal requirements, holding proper titles and registrations. According to "Hey, Charger" (2016), a definitive reference on these vehicles, only approximately 16 of these Australian imports are known to exist throughout North America. With a production rate of just 2,200 units per year in Australia, this Charger stands as an exceedingly rare and coveted specimen in the world of classic automobiles.
