The side marker lights would be different. The Superbee (1971) marker lights are different than 72-74. The tail lights are also different for those years. Quarter panels are different. It depends how exact are you trying to match it. I have a 74 SE Brougham. I'm not worried about keeping it original. I just want it to look good.

i think it will look great, I am doing that with my 73, Sublime or sassy grass green.  I am leaning towards sublime but have not made my final decision.  Now the air grabber hood is at the acid dipper, when I go pick it up I will drop off my front vallance and fenders.

My 73 was sublime when I bought it. That's why I decided restify it.I've had 3 cars that color and can't bear it anymore.But if you are into green
you will get alot of thumbs up on that color.

I kind of like the rallye coupe stripes myself.  I don't see very many of them around here so that could be why.

I vote for 73/74 Rallye clone. Will be less obvious is a clone unless you check the VIN. Super Bee wil be too obvious is not one, unless you don't care that.

An opinion I have about Superbees is beside performance options ( it was a cheaper R/T ) only great trim stuff I like and is unique is the hood insert, that in fact I like more than the louvered R/T one.

However WHAT I REALLY WOULD DO if your SE is already restored, then sell it and go for a Rallye than needs to be restored. 73 rallyes are not hard to find. In that way we will have another Charger on roads, and a next one soon.

Cloning a SE on to a Rallye will sacrifice two chargers... one SE and the Rallye you need to get the parts mounted on your actually one, since is not easy to find all parts already parted out. Is a lot easier get a complete Charger being parted out with those parts still available.
