While trying to find a high-resolution picture of a '71 Charger in A4 Light Gunmetal, I stumbled across this car. 1973 Charger Rallye, 340. No mention of the transmission, but this is the only one I've ever seen with this color combo. Personally, I think it's gorgeous... I'm particularly digging the canopy vinyl.

Overall, it makes for a beatiful car. I love the color but it definitely needs things to break it up, like the canopy top and the stripe. But for some reason the strip treatment makes it look too much like a Torino. :(

I like those Torino's! My uncle had one with a 351C 4brl. I do like that Charger mine had a canopy top, not sure I want to put it back on though.
 
My first car was very-nearly a '71 Torino GT, 351C-2v, in really-nice shape. Yellow with the same laser stripe, scooped hood, and hideaways. I almost want to cry when I think of what happened to that car.

Perhaps you should PHOCK OFF!!! LOL!!!!

Jass! That car is drop dead sexy! For a non-green car!
 
I was wondering when you'd find this, Stretchemite. :D

Apparently Wayne knows where there's one like this, but in dark grey metallic, that's a 400 Magnum car. I can't remember if he told me what transmission was in it, though. I guess it's in the Menominee/Marinette area sitting in a back yard.
 
Nice!

That makes me miss my 73. It was nothing like that but it did have the canopy top.

OOOooooo.....a might touchy....are we. :D

Go ahead, let people call your car a Torino. I've had mine called everything from a Charger to Chevelle. :doh:
 
I used to HATE when people called my Challenger a Cuda! And when I corrected them they'd say oh its the same thing... that would piss me off to no end!

They look nothing alike!
 
I don't Hate it. I was thinking about the first time you were here. The look on your face was priceless when I asked you "Do you want to see my Torino?"

If my back didn't hurt so bad when you were here I would have been more entertaining. LOL

Good friend of mine hates it whn people call his 70 Challenger a "Cougar" So ever time I come up on him at a car show, with his back turned, I'll yell out...."Hey, Nice Cougar you got there!" You can visibly see him stiffen with anger...it's so funny it never gets old....:D
 
When I was driving the '67 Barracuda fastback to my old job, one of the kids walked out and said, "Dude! Nice GTO!" :wall:
Had one other guy ask what year Nova it was. :doh: "What's a Barracuda?!" Yeah, I heard that one a lot too. Then when people would hear that I drove a Barracuda, "You got the Hemi in that?" "It's not an E body car. It never came with a Hemi!" :naughty:

petty blue?

i dont like that stripe.....

Nope. The only year Petty blue was offered was in 1970, on Superbirds only as far as I'm aware. That's Super Blue, or Basin Street Blue on a Plymouth. Petty blue is quite a bit lighter. Petty eventually went to the Super Blue on some of his Dodges, but by that time it was already shot on thousands of Mopars.
 
i thought the last of the RR's taht were volare based were offered in petty blue..must be super blue instead?..makes sense conidering it was called a super coupe in petty format

Actually, the highlight blue paint used on the Plymouth "Kit Cars" was metallic, and the base color was way too dark. Petty blue had no metallic/mica/pearl in the paint. I've never seen an original Super Blue car built after 1974. I'm not saying it wasn't available because I'm not sure; I've just never seen one.

The only factory Petty blue cars I've ever seen were SuperChickens.
