72 Charger Rallye question

[dustyswinger]

I think I have rounded up all the parts to clone my 72 topper x to a rallye car. I have the doors, the bulge hood, dual valance off a superbee, rear sway bar and today I bought a set of rallye taillights. I wasn't planning to do it but all the parts just seemed to show up at a decent price. My car is pretty well optioned but I can't find the build sheet and it dosen't have a fender tag. The title is the right one for the car so I figured why not. The hood is a 73 but I haven't found a 72 yet. Are these the only things that are different? Another question I have is what color are the taillights supposed to be? Also could you get the rallye with concealed headlamps? Did you automatically get dual exhaust with bright exhaust tips with the rallye? I know alot of questions but I'm just learning. Thanks Craig.

My absolute favourite Charger. 72 Rallye, you can't beat 'em. Best doors ever produced, period.

Yes you have all the right parts. The tailights are black. The 71 RT's had both, but 72 were black. Yes, Rallyes had hidaways. Code L37 on fender tag. Not 100%, but pretty sure the Rallye cars had dual exhaust/tips. Haven't seen one without it, but I could be wrong. The bulge is painted black and don't forget the black stripes on the rear lip of the trunk lid when you paint it. What colours are you going?

(On a side note to all looking at this thread: I'm looking to buy a 72 Charger Rallye. Please contact me dalkris@hotmail.com. Thanks  )

The car is a triple green car. The interior is pretty decent, all it needs is seat covers and headliner maybe some carpet. The dash is really nice. It is gf3 now but I'm thinking of going gf6, dark green. It is a 400 car with auto console and buckets and a/c. The bdy is really solid. Thanks for the replt. Craig

a 72 Rallye package is basically the same as the R/T Package on 71 with engine performance exception. Now you can get a Rallye with a 318 as standart equippment.

Since engine was not anymore part of the Rallye-R/T package, then size of front sway bar and T bars weren't anymore part of package and all depends of engine choose

on 73 things changed just a little bit since you didn't have more louvered tail lights and doors gills, however the rest of package was the same. Decals were different but still had that looks option included on package, including deck lid and black out hood as separated options from the mid body sides ones.

Of course on 71 R/T you had front disc and 11" rear drums brakes on packaged, that didn't need to get included on later rallyes packages because since 73 that brake setup was standart on all models.

This is the 73 Rallye package, but is basically the same as 72 with differences stated above.
As stated below, chrome exhaust tips were a separated option same as the rear exhauts cut outs valance, However, the cut outs valance and chrome tips were part of package on 340s and 440s Rallyes. Optional on 318s and 400s

Rallye Package: Bulge hood, hood tie-down pins, black or red "gradated" body stripe, front and rear sway bars, F70X40 raised white letter tires, Rallye instrument panel (hooded, circular gauges with raised white letters, including a speedo, ammeter,oil,temp,and fuel.)  318V8 standard rallye engine.   340 4 barrel and 440 4 barrel V8 with bright tip duals at extra cost on the ralley. 340 was only available with the rallye.

There were more Rallye color decals optioned than stated, Gold and Copper Gradatted stripes and I think also solid Red. I saw once on a Mopar dealer here a solid red with black outer edges, non gradated or reflective. THATS' OF COURSE 73 AND 74. Not sure about white, however a buddys mine has a Red 73 allmost since new ( bought used on 75 ) and his father took a pic of his car with white rallye stripe on 77, so probably was original.

340 was last on 73 and 360 came out to production on 74 instead.

Concelead headlamps ( hideaways ) were only part of package on SEs, and optional on the rest including base models ( thats on both 71 and 72 ). No more hideways on laters
