I'm sure you double checked to see if it really is for your car right?  I found one in my car too but it wasn't for my car.

Is the last digit a '2' ?

If so, did you buy it from Keith Light in NC?

Bought it from a guy named Fred Allen up near Winston Salem NC- not sure who had it before him - maybe could be

Would love to know some history on the car if it was his

Also, a VIN for a Rallye would begin JS.

The JH would be correct for a '73 Rallye. They dropped the JS after the '72 model year.

Good point, I had forgotten about that.  :thumbsup:

You have to look for the A57 code to know if it is a Rallye for 73-74.

car's looks like it has been restored/painted/worked at least once before - the interior has been spray painted black over the original blue, I have found several places with "artful" body work in the front fender and doors and it has been repainted at least once. doesn't have the original hood

How could I tell if was an original Ralley? Title just says Challenger, all that said I don't think it is a Ralley - I'm guessing the A57 code would be on the fender tag?

No A57 on your broadcast sheet or fender tag, so it is not a Rallye.
