I am pretty sure the R/T stopped in '71... looks like a Rallye to me....

The seats look like they are out of a cordoba and the steering wheel was on sale at Canadian Tire for $20 last I checked  :shruggy:

in an effort to thoroughly answer your question...absolutely not!!! do not be fooled...dodge discontined the R/T in 1971 and was relpaced in 72 w/ the ralley model.  its def a clone car, and if they posted the vin, (which they didn't, any suspicion there? :whistling: hm??) so while it is a sweet car, best believe it isn't a real R/T, but again, it is a sweet ride.


here is the documentation to prove it...straight out of the product brochure for 1972...

On a note, you can't clone something they never made.
I have a 71 Challenger Convertible that I badged as a R/T.  They never made 71 Challenger R/T Convertibles so you can't say I cloned it, can you ?

 The difference between me and this guy (72 Charger R/T) is that i would not be selling it as a R/T. :Twocents:

Deff not an R/Y...also dont know about you, but a 672 HP charger with all that rubber should run better then 12.80's on the 1/4 mile IMO.

Man I get tired of hearing that one. They're about as rare as the 72-74 Challenger R/T's that are always popping up for sale...

that car has been on ebay on and off for like three years... there have been other threads about it. IIRC its not even a Rallye

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Could you please provide the first 7 digits of the VIN? I would be very interested in purchasing this car IF it turns out to be a 1972 R/T........That would be one very rare car indeed.....Please provide any documentation that this is an R/T you might have as well...the more documentation the higher I would be willing to go....

Yeah my grandfather once told me before he passed away; "If one person calls you an asshole that is their opinion, but if one hundred people call you an asshole it just might be true!"

I have a feeling the guy KNOWS this isnt a real R/T but is just trying to get more money out that way....

even if it was an r/t (which we all kno its not), and the vin proved it (which we all know it won't), and he had documentation (which he can't)...i should hope that car wouldn't receive anything but the best back-to-every-stich-orginal restoration possible...who would take a one in a mil car like that car would b (which it isn't) and throw all that stuff in it :eek2: haha...not my idea of a good investment u kno...all that stuff into a car that would be that rare...hey anyone pick up that vin by any chance, i'd just like to put this one 2 bed... :lol:

This is why I think he knows that it's not a real R/T and he's just using it to bump up the price with some guy who doesn't know much about Chargers and has only heard of "R/T"....  :shruggy:

FINALLY he at least admits the possibility of it being a "clone" although the ad still states it as an R/T and never mentions it being a clone at all....

When a clone is of something never made if is called a phantom.  My favorite phantoms to date are a 52 Ford 3 window coupe & a 71 Daytona :Twocents:

Not necessarily, 72 Rallyes were available with a 318.

 Twilt, You are correct.   My 72 Rallye originally had a 318.   From my understanding, the only way to prove it was a real rallye was to have the build sheet.  I had a thread on that issue awhile back (1-2 years ago).
  I was just wondering about this guys Charger. (72 R/T)
