HERE WE GO AGAIN, BUYER FELL THRU SO IT ON AGAIN! NO RESERVE- HIGH BIDDER WINS RARE RARE RARE!! 1973 DODGE CHARGER RALLYE 2 DOOR HARDTOP FACTORY "U" CODE 440 HP / 280 HORSEPOWER (713 PRODUCED) FACTORY INSTALLED MANUAL SUNROOF / POWER WINDOWS, POWER STEERING, POWER DISC BRAKES, AIR CONDITIONING. WHAT A CHANCE TO GET A SUPER HARD TO FIND CHARGER. THERE WERE A LOT OF CHARGERS PRODUCED IN 1973 CLOSE TO 120,000 UNITS WHEN YOU INCLUDE EXPORTS. OUT OF THOSE I BELIEVE CLOSE TO 60% WERE THE VERY POPULAR SE (SPECIAL EDITION) CARS. THE RALLYE CHARGER WAS A OPTION ON THE HARDTOP / COUPE CARS. 340 CARS WERE THE MOST POPULAR , 400 BIG BLOCKS HAD THEIR NUMBERS TOO, BUT ONLY 713 RALLYE CHARGERS HARDTOPS ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE WITH THE MASSIVE 440 MAGNUM. 727 TORQUEFLIGHT TRANSMISSION. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IS EVEN MORE RARE WHEN IT WAS FITTED WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF. NO NUMBERS THAT I KNOW ON HOW MANY RALLYE 440'S HAD THE SUNROOF, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD PROBABLY LESS THEN 30 JUST FROM A STATISTICAL STANDPOINT.FACTORY TX9 FORMAL BLACK EXTERIOR PAINT, ORDERED WITH A WHITE VINYL CANOPY TOP (NOT THE USUAL BLACK ON BLACK), WHITE BUCKET INTERIOR WITH FLOOR CONSOLE. 14" RALLYE WHEELS AND UPGRADE OPTIONAL RED REFLECTIVE BODYSIDE TAPE STRIPES.

BRAND NEW CORRECT BODY TAPE STRIPES JUST INSTALLED. THE CAR TODAY IN 2011 HAS SINCE MIGRATED FROM NEW YORK. IT HAS BEEN IN PHOENIX, AZ FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. CURRENTLY IN DRIVER CONDITION. IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS HAD TO HAVE SOME WORK DONE TO FRESH IT UP. IT HAS ONLY HAD ONE REPAINT AND IT IS A BASECOAT / CLEARCOAT BUT IT IS NOT WITHOUT SOME FLAWS.

THE HOOD IS NOT ORIGINAL--- IT IS A CUSTOM HOOD FROM A 72 CHARGER THAT WAS DESIGNED TO APPEAR LIKE THE RALLYE. THE ORIGINAL HOOD A PREVIOUS OWNER SOLD OFF THE CAR.
