production numbers on 72 charger

[GOTWING]

I have checked around on google and have not found a answer, does anyone know how many 72 Charger Rallyes were made with the M code 400 2bbl. I also want to try to find out how many 73 Charger Rallyes were made with the M code 400 2bbl. in FY1 yellow.  Thanks

According to the gooroo's book, 269 were WL21M2 (Rallye 400-2 bbls).
For the "73's, 4118 had the 400-2, and there were 6019 Rallye packages but not all the 400's were rallyes, it's broken out diffeently (or so it looks).  I'd bet a lot more than in '72, 73 was th ebiggest year for Charger production and the Rallye package had shrunk to an "appearance" package- The hood might have been different, but there were no special tail lights orgrille.

Good post, do you have one of those for 1971?

Help me with the numbers for the 72 Rallyes.  How many were made. ?

I fixed it for you.

OK?

[ACUDANUT]

Just a little FYI. The VIN on 72 Chargers DO NOT tell you if it's a rallye.  You really need the build sheet, especially if it's a 318 car.  On the build sheet will have to have the A57 code.

OK, Thanks.  I was just going by the book I have, it looked like they had it broken down in the production number but evidently it isn't.
The Chart Truck Driver posted looks about the same, they show a total production of Rallyes but not broken down by engine.   After looking at it though I'm wondering about something else- the book lists the first four characters of the vins as WL21, WH23 or WP29 (for both 72 and 73).  The WP's are listed as the Charger SE's (so no  Rallye package?), but are there any actual differences between the WL or WR?  Or was it just trin, price point, etc?  They show Rallye package as well as all the engine choices available as either, so it sounds like it's just a paperwork thing, or am I missing something- I don't remember a "post" Charger for any of those years, and I've owned several!

Just to touch on ACUDANUT's post. VINs can tell you if a car was a Rallye or not. Any 72-74 440 non SE car (WL21U or WH23U) would be a Rallye. Any 72-73 H code (340) and 74 L code 360 would also be Rallyes by VIN. Any other engine code and you'd either need to have an A57 Rallye code or a V21 performance hood treatment code on the tag or build sheet to know it's a true Rallye.

Thanks!
Nice car too, my second car was red with the same stripe - wish I would have kept it!

Thanks! I also have a FE5 red Rallye with the V6R gradated side stripes. What did your car have for options?

[areibel]

It had the Rallye Dash with the stripe and bulge hood, no AC, that's the stuff I remember!  It was pretty cool back then (I bought it in 1980), a 400-4 auto/console.  It had aluminum slots when I got it, we wound up replacing the carb and the pass. fender ( big rust hole where the fender brace attached).  I drove it a couple years then it wouldn't pass PA inspection, the rear spring shackles were toast along with the front floor.  Back then that was a death sentance, I would up selling it for $200 to someone that wanted the motor. 
Wish I had a time machine!

What do the three dashes, (---),  mean? I think it says they didn't produce any, but I bought my '71 SE from the original owner and it 100% stock and it had a 383 2brl.......

[ACUDANUT]

While were on the subject of 72's.  Truckdriver, is there a true number on how many Rallyes were made that year ?

[Chargerguy74]

According to GG 3431 hardtops and 460 coupes for the US in 72. I doubt the accuracy of that number. For 74 he lists 105 Rallye hardtops, but there were 208 440 hardtops and 661 L code 360s. That's 869 Rallyes right there.

Wow, sounds like it got rough fast.

[ACUDANUT]

Hardtops ? They all were hardtops.

[Chargerguy74]

Im not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but no...they weren't all hardtops. The coupes were the low price class, WL21, and the hardtops were the high price class, WH23. The big difference being the roll down quarter windows on the hardtops. Or are you thinking all Rallyes were hardtops???

[GOTWING]

thanks everyone for the great posts, i listed my rough blue 72 rallye on ebay last night, learning that not much else on this car can be used on my 73 s/e i'm selling it and putting a new metal roof on my shed that is leaking!

Check the car out, 400 2bbl rallye with fender tag

That's good info there. I have a 72 EV2 U code (WH23U) Rallye. No build sheet, so I was bummed about that. The interior has been practically gutted so... Glad to hear this though.

Hey Truck driver, what is the source for that info?

If accurate my '72 Rallye 400 auto is 1 of 95 and 1 of 68 with an automatic...WOW! my car is more rare than a Hemi car!!!
