Mailed my deposit on a 72 Ralley 440/727

[41husk]

my toy

[41husk]

I sold a 72 cloned like a 71 R/t, I do like these cars does anyone know how many factory 440 Chargers were made in 72?

[Jon Smith]

620 440 autos, 165 4 speeds
I've got one of the autos

[Goldfinger71]

Is that the Rallye from N.C? 

[41husk]

yes it is.

[Charger_Fan]

Looks like a pretty decent body on it, do you have any more pics?
Did you score it cheap?

[41husk]

I have some more they are all bigger than the 200kb allowed.  It has some serious issues but I believe it can be saved or I wouldn't be getting it.

[RD]

i have seen that one on ebay in the past.  i take it, it didnt get sold how much did ya have to fork over for it?  you going to go and pick it up or have it shipped to you?

[472 R/T SE]

Great score.  Is that Petty blue?  My buddy has a '72 Ralley Challenger that color.

[Bob]

Nice looking Charger. Good luck.
Now the fun begins.

I would rather wait until the car is in my possesion before I give the exact details, but yes it is petty blue (I am not sure what the code for that is, if someone lets me know I will check the fender tag)  The fun won't start for a bit longer.  I am trading cash and a 1970 383/727 so I will probably have to take that to him and pick the car up,  If the motor was not part of the deal I would consider having it transported.  It will cost about the same in hotel, gas and food.  I can't go get it until Wrestling is all Finished as I am a high school coach.  that means the end of February begining of march at the soonest.  I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas, even though this one is gonna just sit until I finish the 70 Challenger convertible.

Wasnt that one for sale here or on the old board at one time?  I am almost 100%  positive it was. I believe the seller ( I do  remember the sellers ID but for your pivacy, i wont mention it ) lived in NC, but used to live in New York. I am not trying to be negative but.... I remember that i thougt the asking price way too high considering the condition of the car and how many of the high dollar parts were missing.  I hope it works out well for you, that you got a good deal,  and that the car is not any worse than expected.  I'd be especially leery if the car spent very much of its life in New York.

[694spdRT]

Looks like a great project. I hope it works out for you and it is what you expect. Waiting until the end of February to pick it up would make me a little nervous though.

[Troy]

Pretty cool Allen.

You're collecting project cars faster than me... but at least you are making progress toward getting them done.

[hemihead]

I think the code for Corporation Blue or Basin Street Blue is TB3.

[RallyeMike]

Well I certainly like it 

I believe the Dodge color of that shade in 72 is called "Super Blue".

[Nupe]

Cool car!  Those louvers on the 72's are bad ass.   

[Silver R/T]

nice project

[472 R/T SE]

Well I certainly like it

Hot da#n RalleyMike that looks like fun.  Every time you post I have to check out your links.  I think that would be a kick in the pants.  Do you just listen to the motor most of the time, or try to?  ? 

[1972Rallye]

Well I certainly like it

Yup... check out the plate...

[41husk]

It has the 440, Buldge hood, doors and Ralley tail lights.  What high dollar items are missing?  Most other parts are intechangable with all 72 chargers.  The car was for sale on this board and I feel I have made a fair deal.  I don't think he is giving it away but I will not need to sell off any other toys to buy it,  (although I would be real motivated to move that spare 440 I have been trying to sell)  The car is not originaly from New York, the seller said the car was from New Orleans prior to the flood.  He sounds like a very nice guy.  He even said, after I mailed the deposit, If you get down here and it's not what you thought I will refund your deposit no harm no foul.  So I am pretty excited, that might be due to the fact that I have again somehow failed to inform my wife of this purchase, that gives me a month to be nice and soften the blow.  If I tell her i am selling one of my three cars at Monster Mopar that will probably help.  I might tell he I decided on this car rather than the 08 Challenger I told her I was getting

is that a landau roof on you Ralley?

[1972Rallye]

is that a landau roof on you Ralley?

The term I'm more familiar with is "canopy"... there is a better pic of it in my sig.  Just click on the underlined part...

[41husk]

man that is a beutiful car!! I always wanted a air grabber car, and that canopy top looks very good.

[NHCharger]

Does anyone know how many Petty Blue Chargers were built for the 72 model year?
I was told by some know-it-all at Carlisle that Dodge didn't offer that color until Petty started driving Chargers half way through the 72 race season.

[hawaiico]

I like it alot!!  Can't wait see your finished pics.

[RallyeMike]

I'm envisioning a Super Blue Seventy-Two club   

Hot da#n RalleyMike that looks like fun.  Every time you post I have to check out your links.  I think that would be a kick in the pants.  Do you just listen to the motor most of the time, or try to?  ? 

Ya. I carry those links because it IS. You will never be the same! Ran it uncorked last year for one race. That was really ...... noisy.

[hemihead]

A Landau Top covers the back 1/4 of the roof.A Canopy Top covers the front3/4 of the roof.

[NHCharger]

I'm envisioning a Super Blue Seventy-Two club   

I could dig that.

[1972Rallye]

I'm envisioning a Super Blue Seventy-Two club   

I'm in!!!

NHCharger - I must say, your taste in color, model year, and body style is impeccable! Nice!

[41husk]

I guess I can join in a few weeks when I pick her up!

[RallyeMike]

72 Rallye: Looks like you have one more garage slot to fill with a 71-72 Charger !   .... niiiice.


Super Blue Seventy-Two's: First meeting will be at the Yardarm pub in DesMoines WA this Sunday to watch the Seahawks destroy the Panthers. See you all there. Elections will be held following the route 

[41husk]

Whashington state ?  Thats only about 1,000  miles to far from Illinois.  Can I get an absenty Ballet?

[RallyeMike]

To be fair, we will rotate the meetings State by State every 5 years. Absentee ballots must be attached to a pitcher of Mac n Jacks at the initial meeting to be to be valid. There is no limit to the number of absentees that can be submitted   

[NHCharger]

Mike, according to mapquest it's 3,146.23 mile for me, I'll pass this year but you can drink my beer for me.

72Rallye, you must be my long lost twin. We even park our cars the same way.

[RallyeMike]

I thought everyone knew the blue car ALWAYS goes on the left.

[41husk]

sorry for this! but I am bumping this to the top because andy74 asked for pictures and my computer says I have already opened a file with that name I need to change the file name after several attemps to rename the file I decided to  just bump.  So here you go Andy.  It is looking to be early in march before I will be able to go get her, wrestling season is real long!

[andy74]

hey 41, mine was that color also,but when i did the body work last winter,i went with a more modern blue-05 elctric blue metallic-

mine was originally super blue with a white vinyl top

[41husk]

I had a 72 that was B7 and I have a 68 that is QQ1 blue.  I have to admitt neither are colors I would have chosen if buying or they wern't original but both ended up growing on me.  Looking at ralley mike and the other superblue cars on this thread I like the polished and shined versions much better than the faded look of mine

[Dodge-Charger]

Is that the Rallye from N.C? 

I knew I was working to much lately. good score man.



( let me know if the wife wont let you buy it.) 

[41husk]

Thanks Grey!  If my wife won't let me buy it she won't know until it's home and by then it's just a little late.  I have been Maried 25 years march 27th,  you would think Id of wore her down by now! Hey March 27th I can wait until then to go get the car and it can be her anniversary gift Infact I think the 50 th is the gold anniversary and the 25th is the 3rd gen Charger anniversary So you see I really have no Choice

[PlumBad70]

Congrats Allen!! Now you need a 70 ...I'm still interested in the 440, just need to build up more cash..the 70 is draining us..lol

[41husk]

I sent you a pm that offer still stands, infact if you want it and you know you are going to buy it,  Come get it and pay a little at a time or when tax money comes in.  That way I won't sell it off, but to be honest no one has been beating down the door to get it  

[1972Rallye]

72Rallye, you must be my long lost twin. We even park our cars the same way.

As RallyeMike states... Super Blue is always on the left - its the natural order of the world!

RallyeMike - That extra space in the garage is reserved indefinitely for my wife... it HAS to be that way to maintain the natural order mentioned above!

[Silver R/T]

already got charger, wish I had garage now

[andy74]

already got charger, wish I had garage now

and a personality to go with it

[Dodge-Charger]

Hey 41Husk, what route are you taking to R, NC ?

[41husk]

Ccording to map quest, 64 through Illinois, Kentuky and into West Va. I-77 into North Carolina, then it gets interesting, looks like 74 to 40 to 421 to 220 to I-85 to 42.  It sounds confusing, but I will find it.
