I still think the 72 looks better because of the grill and tail lights..The side markers are better looking on the 71s for sure..Better packages in 71 but the 72s were built better according to experts..Whats your opinion on these stripes compaired to the roof strobe??? AND is an air grabber car better looking or just more rare and funtional?..I like both hoods..

Seems like everyone is putting an air grabber on their car. While the A/G setups are great, it's good to see the standard RR/GTX hood too. I like both.
I personally like the 71s better but I'd love to find a petty blue 72RR with strobe stripes!

Thank goodness that these cars weren't as popular as now when I first purchased this 71 RR. Since then, I have purchased many rare 71 RR parts like rubber bumpers, air grabber and rear window louver. At the present, it will cost a small fortune to purchase the parts or the car. I am currently working on purchasing another 71 RR so I can use the parts that I have collected over the years. One item still missing for my list is a 72 RR grille. I like the 72 Grille better, but as you know they are not cheap.

72 grille the badest coolest grille ever in a MuscleCar! 72 taillight awesome too ////got to be the biggest set of taillights ever on a car (except Olds Alero perhaps ...like those too).
72 you could still get N96 and EV2 Tor-Red ....that why I love my car.
I do think the 71 Strobe stripe and marker lights are better thought.
Though no hemi for 1972 you could get a 440+6!!!
Too bad noone ever ordered more than 1 or 2 !!!!
Here's my 1972 RR ...love the combination of canopy vinyl tops and strobe stripes!

I think the 72 RR grill is the most awesome Mopar grill next to the 71 Cuda. The 72 tail lights are geezer looking, to big. Hate the 72 side markers. Don't care for the 72 Rallye center caps. Better motor options in 71, Hemi and 6-pack. Don't get me wrong, I love 72 RR's and have owned a few of them.

Rick, great topic you started. The post that will never end.

I like the strobe stripes that go over the top, but not the ones that go over the front fenders. The solid stripes that go from front to back I don't like because they are too far apart. Maybe I'll get use to them. I've never seem them in person.

You could only get the fender stripes on a GTX in 71. I really like the 72 tank track fender stripes, but to my knowlege they were not available in combination with the roof strobe. I can't stand seeing a car with both...looks too cluttered.

A few mouths ago, a local guy wanted to trade me his 72 RR grill for a 71 grill that he needed. I gave him the nicest 71 grill that I had. Now wasn't that nice of me. I told him that the 72 was worth alot more than the 71 but he didn't care. Can you say SCORE???

You lucky dog. That's major score. I would have given him a NOS 71 Grille for his 72.

I'd rather they stay unpopular, and cheap, untill I can pick one up myself.

My brother got a '71 a few months ago for $300. No engine or tranny. Interior was good as I remember. We put a 440 in it last Aug. He just had it painted this week. He's been driving it around alot since Aug.

Tell him I'll give him $400 for it right now. That's a 33.3% profit!

Years ago, there was an interview with the designer of the 71 RR/GTX/Sebring in one of the Mopar mags. He said looking back on it, the only thing he didn't like about the 71s was the tail lights didn't fit the design. He said that they got it right with 72 tail lights and rear bumper because they were supposed to remind you of the shape of the grill up front.

I'll let him know. Nothing wrong with a little profit. Altho he'll probably just bring his truck and trailer over and drag his '74 Charger back home.

He's thinking of buying a '68 Charger 440 and fixing it to sell, or maybe keep.
