74 Challenger Production Numbers
« on: November 13, 2010 - 07:36:09 PM »
Does anyone have production totals for 74 Challengers? My GayLen book has none.

Specifically looking for how many 360 4-speed Rallyes were made.

Thanks!

Steve,

I HAD the second to last known Challenger that was built in 05/74.  Same B5 Blue, Rallye with the 360 and a Torqueflite.  My memory is fuzzy on the production numbers, but 17k comes to mind.

Barry can likely pin it down a lot better. 

ps: your car looks great!

What a coincidence. I had a 74 360 Rallye 4 speed parts car, also B5 blue.

16,437 is the total of ALL Challengers made in 74.

Roughly 5% of 73's were 340 4-speeds, so based on a similar ratio in 74, I'm guessing around 822.

Most must have been B5, since the one I'm kicking tires on is also that color.

Any difference in GB5 and KB5?

Steve,

It's my understanding the paint (color) was a slightly different shade.

There is a difference.  Here's the link to the paint breakdown by year.
