what's a 1972 dodge charger worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

A **1972 Dodge Charger** from the 3rd generation standard variants market is currently worth an **average of $31,452** based on Classic.com's market data.

For this specific vehicle listed at **$33,900**, here's how it stacks up:

**The Good News:**
- The asking price is only about **8% above market average**, which is reasonable for a modified car with fresh paint
- Comparable 1972 Chargers in this market have recently sold in a wide range from **$26,400 to $58,403**, so this price sits comfortably in the middle of that spread
- A nearly identical 1972 Charger (also purple/black, modified, automatic) sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in January 2025 for **$26,400**

**Things That Affect Value:**
- This Charger is **"Modified"** rather than original, which typically appeals to a smaller buyer pool than highly original examples (like the blue '72 at $44,000 or the one that sold for $30,250 at Mecum)
- The **TMU (Total Miles Unknown)** status is common for these cars and doesn't typically hurt value unless the actual mileage is extremely high, but it's something to keep in mind
- The **purple/black color combo** is attractive and somewhat distinctive

**The Bottom Line:**
The $33,900 asking price is **fair but not a steal**. It's positioned slightly above market average, likely reflecting the fresh purple paint and dealer presentation. If you're interested, you might negotiate a bit - somewhere in the **$30,000-$32,000** range would be closer to a market-average deal.
