72 Rallye U code....

[StanmanJay]

I think I have a real rare U code Charger here guys. Built Sept 9th 1971, HB1 Light Blue, B5 Bright Blue Interior, Black Canopy top, Bucket Seats, Auto on Column (no console), Power Windows, NO A/C, AM-FM, Machine Gun tips, Rallye Wheels, Hood Pins. Car is under construction.  I only seen HB1 Light Blue on 'non' muscle mopars, mostly A-Bodies and a few B-Bodies but never a U Code Rallye or RoadRunner. Any comments??

[Cuda Hunter]

I had a friend who had a 72 U code rally charger that was light blue.  It was in Colorado Springs about 15, maybe 20 years ago.  He jumped the car and went over 40 feet in the air before he touched down.  Seen it!  he is crazy! 

  Cool car!!  Please list the fender tag info and some pictures!!   

[StanmanJay]

First off I want to thank everyone who replied and the website DodgeCharger.com! This is an AWESOME site! We are all a family and I love you all! Will post fender tag tomorrow (Galen Registered #3 or 35) and hope to have pics up soon. I went through a divorce that just about backrupt me but I held on to my Charger to restore it! I sold my first car I ever bought at 17 to get married in 2000, a 1971 Charger 500,  & im not about to sell my 72 Rallye 440 though no divorce!!! She tried to get it but HAHA she was out of her mind LOL!

[mikesbbody]

Sorry to hear about the divorce but happy you stood your ground with the charger  Stick around you will like it here and yes, your among friends

[Hemidog]

You 3rd-genners always discriminate! 

Looking forward to some pics!

[AKcharger]

Well if 2nd Gens were so go they wouln't have stopped making them in after '70

[Ghoste]

Their three year window only adds to their exclusivity.  How many times in a row did they make the Mona Lisa?

You can drop that Burnt Orange "Poser" off at my house any day of the week.

[AKcharger]

It's not my fault, The '70 is still in PA and the '72 is sitting in my garage...love the one your with   but Carlisle is coming up! and it will soon be my favorite car again!


Sorry S-Jay I think I inadvertently hijacked you thread

[BROCK]

I recommend 70 & 72 myself!

Love that 72 Rallye look.  Theres one in Baltimore Craigslist, 318 car but has a 440 now.  Guy says 1 of 165.  Not quite, being a 318 car tho.

Well the problem with "1 of _" is people get carried away. In the past it ment "1 of 4 Hemi cars", or "1 of 300 Convetables". Now people take it to be "1 of 165 1972 rallyes that were red with a 318 bucket, seats and hubcaps"

[Ghoste]

As much as I like the breakdown and info it provides, the Marti Report that all the Ford guys get is really bad for that.  Every single car can be broken down into a "one of one" if you go far enough.

Yeah it really does become a game of "what is it you really want" 
Hotrodding was born out of answering this question.  Now, for the
bone stock crowd it is once again a point of interest!  Let it be.

[Ghoste]

I like bone stock too and breakdowns but when it comes down to establishing each option on the car and the region it was delivered and what time of day it was sold to establish it's "special oneness" in the world I quickly reach oversaturation.

HB1 is a fairly unusual color for any performance Mopar.  That said, I do have a copy of the Broadcast sheet from a U-code Rallye that is HB1... only it has a White interior and full vinyl top... built October 28.  Still very rare in my opinion! 

I keep an informal registry of any 72 Rallye car I run across.  Any pics you're willing to share would be awesome!  I can also help with production numbers / decoding...

[BROCK]

Glad to see someone is keeping a registry of these!

Yeah I know.  I'm pretty sure the number Galen lists for 72 Chargers with 440, 4 speed, and Rallye pkg is 165.  Its in the dealer section.  He revised the ad and removed the vin # so I guess someone called him on it.
