Hello all,
I have recently bought a 1972 Charger SE 440. I think this car is in great shape for its age. A little about me. My days with Mopar date back a ways. When I was 7 my family moved to Oklahoma and I don't remember what your it was but I know one of the cars we cam from California in was a Plymouth station wagon. Once here it was replaced with a green 68 Fury III 318 auto. A few years later Dad bought a 69 Satellite 383 auto. It may have had some miles on it but for a 2 barrel I thought it ran great! My Dad had been a auto mechanic most of his life starting back in the late 30's selling his last garage in California in 1971. So its safe to say I have a wrench turning background. My first pickup was a 71 D100 with a 318 Auto, not fast but it seemed to go forever. About 5 years ago I bought an all original and running 1941 Hudson Commodore Six Sedan. I know most here probably don't car anything about a car like that but it is impressive to me in its own way. I still will continue the restoration of it even though the 72 Charger might slow that down some. I say might, Hum, I guess it already has for the last week or so. I have been turning wrenches on one thing or another since I was very young and do not claim to be a master mechanic in any way. My work has lead me into the aviation world but with retirement in sight I may get many more years in working on my cars and whatever else comes along. I am sure there will be plenty of Mopar experts here to learn from even though I wouldn't say I am starting from scratch. My 72 Charger is completely original except for the interior which was customized by the 1st owner probably in the mid 70's, intake/exhaust manifolds and Carb.
