the owner said it was original

the original invoice from Husker Dodge in Omaha Nebraska says side paint stripe

I don't think the car has ever been painted and there is no sign of a pinstripe

the car is a 1973 SE with the rallye pack option

the stripe is not the same as the rallye chargers

Looks like the 73-74 Charger Ralley stripe.

Yep that is the correct Rallye stripe for that year.

You could get a Rallye stripe on a SE Charger. That does not look like a factory stripe though. It should not extend the whole length of the car like that and they were not painted. I am trying to buy a '74 SE with a V6R reflective stripe and it is on the fender tag. If it truly is original I would guess the dealer had it done. What does your fender tag say?  Also, the SE was really never available with a Rallye package as you would need the bulge hood to have the entire package. However, owners could option out most everything else individually that the Rallye option had.

Here is a picture of a '73 Charger Rallye V6R stripe that was reproduced off of the original. They were available in black and white for solid colors and then several different reflective versions.

haven't had the fender tag decoded only what the invoice says

this stripe is higher than the rallye stripe and runs the whole length of the car

talked to a guy at a car show said he ordered a charger with this stripe

Do you have any bigger pictures that you can post? If you post the fender tag options someone here can help you out. I am not saying it couldn't have happened because Chysler did some different things, it just seems a little odd.

[694spdRT]

Also, when you say invoice are you talking about the window sticker?

[konigcharger]

yeah i know

i will post the fender tag as soon as i get out to the car(probably Thurs)

if you have email i can send you  bigger pics

if i didn't have the invoice i would think i was crazy too

if you don't want to post your email just send the address to konig_charger@yahoo.com

No it is not a window sticker it is like an order sheet

sweet car good find i wish my car looked that good

[konigcharger]

on a more serious note i will try to get the fender tag # posted on thurs thanks for the help

[Nacho-RT74]

That car was on ebay about a year and a half...

I don't know why pics don't came out on a large size in my PC but definitelly they are not original from fact. They are BAD PLACED, above the sidemarkers isntead on level...

I will give more opinions when I have a better view

[Nacho-RT74]

definitelly I don't need a close up... THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL STRIPES...
original stripes are:
1-fender section is two parts becsue wheel opening cut is in the middle
2-quarter section wheel opening cut is allmost on top of stripe

[The Ghoul]

may not be orrigional but it looks great. I think for the placement the length is just right. if it were lower I would say a full strip would look goofy.. I like it alot!!

[Nacho-RT74]

I'm not saying bad looking, just bad placed

good or bad looking is just opinion of everyone.

In my mopar parts catalog appears only 4 stripes options:
Black
Copper.
Gold.
Red.

three last ones are the reflective phasered ones as far I know. Only really sure on red one because I have a NOS set... oh, half of set.

I thought they had white ones too? Maybe the ones I have seen are aftermarket.

[Nacho-RT74]

maybe... I don't know... mine of course is custom made. I'm just saying what Mopar catalog says

[konigcharger]

i really don't know, all i know now is that i like it and whoever put it on the car put some serious time into it i mean the gapping is perfect all the way down both sides and what the invoice (which i will post later)says.    ma mopar made a lot of cars that there may be only one or two like it thats why i asked about it i guess until I see another charger with the exact same stripe on another car i will not know for sure. i know it would not be in a parts catalog because like i said it is PAINTED on.

I am definitely sure i'm gonna keep it when i get it repainted because it looks sharp and in my opinion the rallye stripe is to low and i don't like how it is cut by the wheels

if any one would  like to add this stripe to there car i will gladly help as much as i can
