How Rare is This One?
« on: September 12, 2010 - 04:57:38 PM »
Found a U-code 70 Challenger, buckets, auto, console, 8-3/4, drum brakes. Seemed pretty run of the mill until I checked the exterior codes.

B3 Blue
B5 vinyl interior
Black vinyl top
BLUE longitudinal stripe (Yes, I double-checked, it's NOT V68)

Ballpark figure on how many were made?

Naturally, like most cars around here, it's been sitting semi-apart and unregistered since the early 80's and it's only for sale "for the right offer".

I know of one with those colors so far, but it is a four speed.

Got a tag photo you can share?

Chrysler did not keep track of stripe colors so there is no way to know. I currently have 18 V6B cars in my registry. 4 of them are EB3.

I'd also like to have some pics of whatever info you can share for my registry.

Thanks,

Ummm, not getting the whole picture, Barry.

If this is in response to my not showing the whole VIN, it's because this is not my car. Not sure the owner would appreciate it without his permission.

Rare or not, that is one gorgeous color combination.  Never seen one in person and I grew up during this time so obviously not a common combination.  Very cool.

I'll third that!  I don't think I've ever seen that B3 color.  Looks very classy, IMO.
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.
