Nice photoshop skills.

I love that angle of the car. Can't wait for mine to be painted so I can take 1000 pictures of her.

Looks clean.

Thank you! I also thought this was a cool angle. Took this picture with my samsung s6 phone.

Not really photoshopped. Took this picture with my samsung phone and its was a stormy day. Just removed the shadows and used an HDR filter.

Enhanced or not it's a real picture.  Wink

I love the ultra rare, rear window louvers.

I love the ultra rare, rear window louvers. 

Those aren't the real factory style. They look like the aluminum style....... But they DO look cool!

Possibly the most successful racing Charger ever. I was lucky enough to be allowed to roam freely, with my camera, through the Petty Enterprises facilities. I just wish I had taken better photos.

Sweet hood AK, it even has the 73 style vents. What's the story behind it?

I freely admit to not being a fan of the 71-74 Chargers....me and that rear side window line never saw eye to eye. However there are some great looking Chargers in this thread.....Gonzoes red one particularly caught my eye....very nice Sir!

We Had a post just like this many years ago.  I wonder where it went. 

Is this the one you were referring to?

Thanks CND72Se!

Good question I bought this a few years ago up in Ontario from a MOPAR guy and I wasn't savvy enough to know the '72/'73 vents so I'm going to assume it was manufactured BUT a couple of thing makes me think it may indeed be a unicorn:
1) The workmanship was EXCELENT and it would have been made BEFORE all the PG classic parts came out...I can not detect ANY cuts welds or modification
2) and this is the big one, There were FACTORY nut plates installed for the Actuator door bracket...kind of weird to do that for an option discontinued at least 18 month prior. My original '72 bulge hood doesn't have them?

I'm not going to sweat it either way though as it's not an original N96 car...I'm happy

I wasn't questioning if it was a fake at all (or repop). I just think it's really rare. My understanding is there were some crossover with the vent styles. Very curious if it was off a 72 originally, or possibly an NOS replacement for a 72/71.

I didn't see it as that. If I had to honestly guess I'd say it was for a late '72 build when the '73 parts were starting to show up and they just grabbed a bulge hood out of the pile, plopped it on the machine that made the cut out, installed the rest of the parts and "presto"
Oh, recalling my 8000 mile trip to buy it!
