In this video we check out my mates 1972 Dodge Charger with some orgasmic V8 noises!

It's good to see someone in the Uk that like me daily drives a 1972 charger. I love mine

Richard Petty raced in a 72 just before he got the 73 body style. Seeing that 72 STP as a kid was enough for me

[@MOPARMuscleLEBANON]

good to see a 3rd gen in Uk greetings from Lebanon , it needs fatter tires at the back for sure but it does sounds like a big block !

[@rumcove07]

I love it Sheldon, 'technically' a Mopar! Btw, my dear mother also passed away and left me some dosh which I turned into a 69 Sunbeam Alpine and a Plymouth Cricket.

[@shawnderrick1952]

My first car was almost identical to this one, except mine was Spinnaker White with a full vinyl top on a green bench seat interior exactly like yours.I swapped the standard gauges for the Rallye gauge panel as you have.I do miss that car so much!

Love the Channel, great video. If you ever want to do a video on a 440 Big block V8 71 Charger you are more than welcome to use mine, i also have a 74 Lincoln mark IV if that is something you would like to film, your video style is awesome.

That Charger Sounds absolutely Fantastic!

That was the year I graduated from High School. June of 1972. But the early model 72's were make in late 71 to be on the showroom floors by late fall back then.

[@antman5474]

I thought I'd seen this car before, I worked for the same company as Dave at one time and he brought it into work on occasions. Good to see both still doing well.

I can't image how that feels driving around the UK. My dad has a 1971 Dodge Charger 500 and I've seriously thought about driving through the UK.

[@PeteCswampy]

Just swapped my exhaust for a quieter one on my 440 block. Much better as its quiet and you can now hear the induction sound.I find straight thru pipes too loud and detract from the car in my opinion. I had a custom stainless system built. Nice car that charger and i understand how the owner wants to make it all loud, BUT i think a little less is more..balancing the induction sound with the final exhaust note is good way to go

[@jimmoravec1326]

My 72 is quiet I like the sound of my big four barrel open up and howl 😆👍

Excellent video Sheldon! Cannot wait for whatever you have in store!

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

Never was much of a fan of American cars but ones from that period are iconic and a part of our collective history. The sound of this particular example is the epitome of how a big lazy V8 should sound. Also thanks for calling out the corruption that’s going on between government and the oil companies. I personally think it goes far deeper and is more sinister than most people realise. While we should all support a better environment, the science behind global warming is far from conclusive and the idea that EVs are the only solution, or indeed any kind of solution at all is preposterous and utter madness. People need to wake up to this fast before they lose everything that is dear to them.

Thanks Sheldon what an amazing orchestra of sound I love it! Totally agree on the fuel price issue, stops people enjoying their Chargers!! I love these cars and its all Bo and Lukes and Daisy's fault! Keep up the good work mate love the channel.

[@jedw]

This along with the engine in a Rover are both cross-plane crank V8s. Flat-plane crank V8s are VERY rare and only built in any number by Ferrari. Some Lotus Esprits had them too. Otherwise great video, loved the Dodge!

[@classic_britain]

Yes I got muddled up

[@energyasylum997]

Really?!? Thanks for sharing that!

[@peterbarker6249]

Couldn't agree with you two more about this (so called) fuel crisis ! Like your attitude ; no seat belts , smoking behind the wheel and a bad ass car , good to see ! In the early nineties I too had a 1972 Charger SE (special edition) . Main difference being the side windows didn't slant up at an angle , they were just 90 degrees straight . Mine was 400ci (6.6 litre) 4 barrel with a floor shift "slap-stik" shifter 727 torqueflite auto . Slot mags and a white vinyl interior completed the look . Agree the second gen were the best looking Chargers but if I had the choice I'd go for a 1970 Coronet Super Bee with a 440 (hey , I can dream!) Just out of interest Shelly , do you watch Graveyard Carz on youTube ? If not have a look , I think you'll like it .

Straight pipes may hurt performance. Some glasspacks would give you that great sound and at least you'd have back pressure. I have a set running 90 degrees out on either side of my 302 pwd 60 F100.

[@classic_britain]

We would both be killed

[@cudak888]

Sheldon, just FYI - most US V8 are cross-plane, including the Mopar LA block in the '72 Charger. Rover V8 is cross-plane as well from stock, though there are kits to convert the it to flat plane. I don't think the same is available aftermarket for the classic LA or B/RB Mopar blocks. Cross plane is the one with the rumble - even a Rover V8 with the stock crank can burble along like a Mopar LA with the right exhaust. By comparison, a flat plane has a much smoother sound at idle and when one gives it the beans, it breaks into something that sounds straight out of Monza in the 1960's - that "F1" sound some might say upon hearing it. Motoring journalists were besides themselves a few years ago when Ford released the S550-based Shelby GT350 with a flat plane crank - definitely check out a couple of those Shelby exhaust note videos if you have a chance. There's no mistaking the sound once you've heard it.
