is this a 73 rallye charger?

Yes. A57 is the Rallye package, V21 is the performance hood treatment. I saw that one on Facebook. Could be a decent buy.
400 magnum engine

Can you post a picture of it? If nothing else, it appears to be a non standard color for a Charger.

being WL21 ( coupe ), sure is not a common car. Most Rallyes I have seen are WH23.
A57 denotes is a Rallye. V21 is the blackout hood treatment, which is not present in all rallyes, because was optional

I wonder if it is the original fender tag to the car? If the floor boards are blue, it does raise a question or two?

actually I have seen dozens of 73 Charger silver, most of them SEs. and the paint chips states Coronet too... Chargers enter into the Coronet line

Based on the tag in your pic, A57 is a Rallye car, V21 is the hood blackout treatment if wanted, 400 magnum, JA5 I do believe was a dark metallic silver but I thought it was for E bodies. I guess the sales person was able to make that happen. But I question the fender mounted turn signals......
Be sure they also match the stampings on the body.
Exactly.
The fender tag and dash vin are easy to transfer to a different car...check for the stamped body Vin numbers.
