You are correct. Power windows and cruise control were gone from the 72 E-Body option list. Ma took a chainsaw to the option list for the 72 on up E-Bodies. Ragtops were gone, sunroofs survived on a few 72 Challengers, then they were gone for 73. A lot of options disappeared for 72. 6-way seat, front and rear spoilers, rear window louvers, flip gas cap on the Challengers, shaker hoods, hood pins and 15" rallyes. Made no sense, as those options were designed, produced, and paid for already. They make a good profit margin on options, so why not offer them?


Wow didn't know that but I haven't followed e-bodies that closely

Was the rally gauge cluster gone as well?



No, rallye gauges were still used.

I can not upload pics right now to this site fir some reason.
I have pics of the 1972-74 seven grand tach and the diff reset on speedo. Still a good looking dash. The Cuda and Ralley Challenger packages were still cool.
Sport hoods, 150 speedo, tach but 7K, gauges, decal package ( Challenger got fender bezal thingy's and strobe stripes down fenders and doors that fades) sway bars front and back
I had a,1972 Challenger Rally 340, 727, 8 3/4 (355) B5, full TX9 vinyl top, TX9 interior, Black Stobe Stripes, Road Wheels, Dealer installed A/C, AM/FM. Car drove nice with tg2e sway bars and new radials in the stock wheels and git looks. It had R/T looks of the earlier cars. My older brothers friend got it as just an old car price. He drove it for years and gave it to me for free when the 727 went and joined the Navy. Trans blown up and beat to death.
The 72 Up Cuda and Challener Ralley packages gave some good things in a package over the flat hood cars.

I wonder why no R11 on the FT, but it has a radio. I don't recall seeing that before.

I'm not seeing an "R" group for any radio at all.?? But I do see an antenna on the front fender, maybe not a factory setup, can't tell by the photos. Good catch.
