Dodge’s Charger will be familiar to those of a certain age who spent Saturday early evenings watching a red one jumping creeks whilst being hotly pursued by ‘the law.’ Later third generation cars did less jumping but kept the same sleek look with an updated ‘fuselage’ style.
Like all early 70s Detroit muscle it was possible to personalise your Series 3 Charger any which way. Top of the extra-cost tree was the ‘SE Brougham’ package which added the iconic hidden lights, a wider C pillar, tiny quarter light and vinyl roof. Inside there were rally gauges and luxury high back seats.
This 318CI (5.2L) V8 ‘72 has all those features and more. The original bill of sale shows the first buyer also added tinted glass, radio, sports mirrors and even an electric clock. Later owners have refined the style with a set of smart American Racing alloys with polished rims.
They complete the sense of a very well looked after car finished in menacing black. UK registered with its single UK keeper, it is a very tempting and factory-original example of an increasingly rare muscle car.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
