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.

THere was a big thread on it over on Moparts.  There's no way to know if that is the last Hemi car built.

I had a feeling about that. Just like the supposed "first Hemi cars," what they're really saying is "based on the build date and VIN we believe it's the last Hemi car."

Nonetheless, it's still cool as hell. There are very few cars that for which I would argue for complete restoration, but this one deserves it.

VERY cool! Happy to see this piece of history saved and being restored. Wonder what its value will be... the "last hemi cuda" sold 2 years
ago at Mecum for 550K.

Oh man! RK Motors does some really nice cars as well. This thing is going to be perfect.

They're e-coating the body and everything.

So they are gonna dip the whole body once the body work is done?

What does that cost?
