The automotive industry collectively lamented when Dodge revealed their decision to discontinue the Challenger nameplate in response to the rise of electric vehicles. This news brought about a sense of sorrow for several reasons. Primarily, the Dodge Challenger was initially conceived as a rival to the legendary Mustang and Camaro, eventually solidifying its place as a symbol of Dodge’s heritage, often depicted on the walls of automotive enthusiasts. Since its introduction in the 1970s, various intriguing versions of the Challenger have been introduced by Dodge. The R/T model, standing for Road/Track, was equipped with the necessary components to handle demanding track environments. A well-preserved 1972 Dodge Challenger R/T Tribute, such as the one showcased here, is always highly sought after. The specific vehicle highlighted here has accumulated a mere 22,000 miles and includes several enhancements to enhance its performance.

If one sought a more daring appearance than what the traditional Dodge Challenger offered in the past, the R/T model presented an enticing option. Adorned in a vivid shade of red that evokes a sense of passion, the 1972 Dodge Challenger R/T Tribute in question embraces its classic charm with chrome bumpers outlining the front and back. Sporting the famed Cragar wheels and Wilwood brake calipers in red, which complement the exterior color, the vehicle is equipped with front power disc brakes for added safety. Noteworthy features such as hood vents, quad headlights, and taillights, as well as dual square exhaust pipes at the rear, distinguish this particular model year from its predecessors. Inside, the pristine white interior of this 1972 Dodge Challenger R/T Tribute offers a blend of vintage style and contemporary convenience. The Pioneer radio system takes center stage, boasting AM/FM/CD capabilities and Bluetooth connectivity. Moreover, an innovative A/C system has been discreetly installed beneath the dash. Additional gauges have been incorporated alongside those on the dashboard.

The impressive 1972 Dodge Challenger R/T Tribute owes much of its power to the robust 340ci V8 engine it boasts. Paired with an automatic transmission, this engine is brought to life with the aid of the MSD ignition system. Keeping the engine cool during high-performance use is an aluminum radiator. The current configuration of the engine includes a carburetor.
