Lot 169376: 1972 Dodge Charger

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.
