I just picked this 74 Rallye up 3 weeks ago. It is a 360 Magnum automatic with A/C. It is pretty much a survivor except for the wheels. At least they are period correct slotted dishes. I started doing a clean-up on it and haven't decided what I'm going to do with it just yet. The car was found behind a barn up in northern Michigan and has been sitting for about 5 or 6 years because of a broken torsion bar. Ralley72 (Mike) is helping me out my sending me a replacement. It should be road ready in a couple of weeks. I have fired it up and it runs great.

drooling about the stripe

this is the one my car had, but was too expensive to repro it locally. Went with reflective, but white

I too am digging the survivor

Mine is well.......at least it's mine.

Thanks, the photos were taken near a village called Lower Bayble on the Isle of Lewis which is a island of the west coast of Scotland and were taken in 2k.

Nice Pictures! Keep them coming.

 Beautiful machine Doug :2thumbs:Looking at all the 3gens just gives me a little more incentive to get the lead out and finish my 73

I'll have to find some more updated photos, it's farther than that
Found some.

This looks like a lot of work, but in the end it will be worth it. Best of luck on your project. I wish I had the time to do my car over like you are doing. My car was pretty much built in the mid 80's and still looks pretty good considering it is wearing 25 year old paint. My project this past winter has been totally striping the bottom of my car. This has been no easy task, I have been under it for about 30 hours so far with a heat gun and torch and a scraper. I just picked up por 15 paint and as soon as the weather breaks I will paint the bottom. I hope it comes out half as nice as the bottom of your car. Good luck with it.

Can you tell me anything about this one?  More pics of it? I like the 70/71 Rim combo on the '72 and I was considering doing it to mine.

No Problem...

No Problem!  I like the behind the wheel shots too.  If I figure out how to post video i have some small videos taken with the camera somewhere.

Here's some more of my car and some others from the 09 Nats...




Enough for now I gotta work!

Sure!

We met him last year.  The charger is a legit 440 4-speed TB3 rallye that just got finished.  We talked with the guy for quite a while and scoured his car because my buddy had picked up a GY8 72 rallye 400 auto project earlier that year that we are restoring.  Truly an awesome car...Here's more





I know the bumpers are supposed to be painted, but he and I both had the opinion that for this body to us at least the less chrome the better!

[1972Rallye]

Awesome... thanks for the pics!  They confirm the car is the one I thought it was - but with different wheels.  I have pics (see below) of the same car when it was for sale several years ago (before it was restored) and some shortly after it was restored.  It had steelies and poverty caps on it in all those pics.  I really like the wheel combo it has now! If you see the owner again and he wants to see all the pics, send him my way...

I really like that blue one! Hood treatment really sets it off well. Wonder what it would look like with a spoiler and some magnum wheels?

I'm not sure but a go wing would look pretty sick on it with some black magnums.

Yeah I think it needs something on the back...B body pedestal wing and louvers would look cool.  Not sure if its an early 72 or not.  The early ones had 71 trunk lids with the pre fabed mounts.  

Here's the fender tag...


With a build date of 4/11 I am guess ing that it has the standard 72 lid without the spoilers mounts.

It might be me or my computer but do those resto photos show it more of a turquoise color?

They do look a bit off... I think its the lighting (southwestern U.S. maybe?).

I had Photoshoped versions of mine with the spoiler(s) that left me unsure if I wanted to add them or not...

[Foreman72]

the chin spoiler absolutely...but i don't know on the wing...

[71383bee]

My vote is for both...but I am biased a little bit! 

[Nacho-RT74]

the chin spoiler absolutely...but i don't know on the wing...

I never liked the rear wing... to much ricer look

Right!  Ricer look okay cause there was lots of ricers around in 1971 cruising around and competing with the real muscle.  I guess I like ricer looks then.  At least its not made out of plywood and on a front wheel drive car. 

Another shot of my homemade ricer spoiler that I made with a glue gun some plywood and a couple cans of krylon
