72 Rallye Paint Scheme • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

by **Tom C** » 14 Jun 2001 17:16

I'm restoring a 72 Challenger and would like to make it a Rallye clone.
What colour is the grille on a rallye? Grey or Black. Are the inserts on the rallye hood painted the same colur as the rest of the hood or highlighted differently? I see Hans' 72 Rallye has the rear taillight assemblies painted black. Is this correct? If so is this Flat or Gloss?

Grille - flat black

Hood inserts - body colour

Taillight panel - flat black I think but will have to check.

Just looked at a couple of photos of restored '72 Challengers and the rear panel is black but the inserts the lights are recessed into look like they are painted silver. I guess we need to hear from someone with one of these.

I checked my 72 and the rear panel is flat black, more like semi-gloss. Could it be what Penstar sells called "Trim Black"? This includes the recesses the lights are set in.

My hood inserts are painted silver as well as the grill but I don't know how it was orriginally. So if somebody knows it for sure I like to hear it too. Thanks

The HOOD inserts should be body colour. Mine are black because I like them that way.
