Little bit of rust but not too bad.

Brings back memories...I had a 400 in one, and the second time around, I bought one with a 440. Rallye package, bulge hood with pins, exhaust tips, same top banana with black striping on both. One was a console and one was a column auto. Wow, nice find.

Cool car,they look good in yellow with the black stripes. My friend brought mine back to New England from California. The only rust was under the vynal top. I had to put a full roof skin on it.

My project car is like the yellow car, has the big golly whopper rear bumper guards but none on the front....did they come that way or did a PO just remove them. Also, on a factory black car, what color was the side stripe, did one have a choice of colors. This project car looks in better shape than many....

bumper guards were sure removed.
on 73 just black as solid color and red phasered ( reflective ).
a black car on 73 should have got the red phasered
on 74 the stripes option was widened to copper and gold, both phasered and reflective. Still the black as only solid color available, and the same red phasered too
Black car on 74 could have got the copper too... dunno if also the gold one

I took care of the bumpers that stick out, and the big ugly bumper guards on my 73. I put a 71 Charger rear bumper and R / T taillights with the dual exhaust rear valence pan. I put the hidden headlight grille from a 71 Charger on mine and slotted the front bumper brackets to tuck the bumper in.

I didn't know if click LIKE or THANKS LOL!!!!
there is something interesting there! it doesn't appear the Parchment ( copper ) gradated rallye stripe! MAYBE is because is a spring season release, along with the Spring Special Charger, which got that one as part of the package!
The STRIPES brochure at hamtramck registry website shows it, same as my 74 Parts manual catalog... which is dated by the way April 1974

I like the 71/72 bumper guards A LOT more than the 73/74, but is true the 74s on my car already saved my tail lights from an idiot driving a Phord Maverick who "kissed my ***" once LOL. 71/72s weren't able to do it

and without try to highjack the thread ( even more ) but the topic floated on... post your opinions about this car and the stripeSSSS on it
Note is a 73! not 74!
!!!!
maybe a later add? ( left front fender stripe seems to be not aligned ) ok, that could be... but the color ? Yellowed parchment or gold ?.
next... have you noticed the DECK LID? Decal? there was not deck lid decals for gradated stripes
EDITING!!! SORRY IT'S A 74!!! but maybe missed shoulder seatbelts so it could born with that stripe from factory. Left fender could got a paint job and the replacement stripe not correctly fit

It looks to me like this particular car was originally gold and at some point, someone poorly masked off what is supposed to be the stripe. And painted the rest of the car black. The passenger side was probably facing the sun and is faded? Whatayathink?

Nacho, I was under the impression that the Rallye stripe or package was not available on the “SE”
Correct me if I am wrong regarding the car with the gold stripe that as pointed out, was likely the original color of the car.

Optional on 74s for all models, not in 73 thought

About the original color being gold... never thought on that, it could be, BUT... if you look closer to passenger side quarter, the stripe is cracked just like vinyl stripes uses to get cracked.
Aside that, the Charger logo on driver's door is toooo perfect.

Just checked out a dealer brochure for 1974, for what it’s worth it indicates “Rallye Package” not available on SE.
