Very Nice :2thumbs:

If you have V21 on your fender tag the blacked out hood treatment belongs on the car. Only 72 340 cudas had the option. Pretty rare don't come across a lot of V21 Cars. Also some Ive seen had body painted grille, so I believe that was a option with a V21 car.

Sweet ride.  Looks like you have the 70-71 only unsilenced 340 aircleaner.  Yours should be an orange snorkel with a flapper door on the inside.

Looks like a nice, clean Cuda, FYI your center caps are 71.

Nice a V21 car..... I have an early built 72 V21 Cuda built in late 71.
Cudas with the G36 body color racing mirrors, in one of the select 6 colors were said to come with the body color grille "standard". 
Not much info is out there on this option. Much like the 71 Cuda I think that the supply of the non argent grilles may have changed how they were actually built/delivered

Real nice car!  Welcome to the site!  :2thumbs:
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.
