Is that a factory color? I really like it, it almost looks slightly metallic.

Super Blue is a factory color.  This is the color of my car, albeit faded alittle.  Plymouth calls it Basin Street Blue, although most people know it as Petty Blue.  This color was offered on other cars other than E-bodies but on E-bodies I think it was only offered on '72-'73 cars.  Road Runners and Chargers had this color available.  It's slightly lighter than Ford's Grabber Blue.  Similar to AMC's Big Bad Blue I think.  The color may look a little different in the pic on the previous page maybe due to the sunlight.

This car is owned by a lady, challengerchic72, there are several pics of it on the net.  See here:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

The 72 and up moulding is a little different than 70/71 BTW....  :bigsmile:

70/71 is 2 piece and a little thinner.

And usually three times the price or more!

I found this old thread while looking for these mouldings. Does anyone know if they are being reproduced?

My 74 has that piece and car was verrry non optioned.
318, 3spd stick, power nothing. Not even a front sway bar.
So I would surmise they became standard.
It defiantly lives up to its name. Just recently got a replacement piece. Original was beat to s...

Removing the warning labels one at a time.
Nature will take care of the rest.

Someone was but looks like it's " backordered" now?
