Post subject:  73 RSA Valiant Charger
I am taking it back to original This means Coral blue white half top,

Coral blue doorcards, rooflining..and yikes WHITE seats.

Engine will be breathed upon - but the RSA Charger( which came out same time as the US Duster, thus Predating the US Demon by a year - they look the same thou cept the 70 model which has 70 Duster taillights and 70 dart nose ) is Rare only 1500 build over 4 years.

My Car has a Sibling the only other car with this combo known over here - but it does not have the white seats

Under the white and black sidepanel and door card trim I found the original blue

Black or Neutral - aka Ivory was standard this blue and white combo is very rare - oh yes I found the Vinyl tops chrome beadings in the trunk

here is the pics

Mine is the less good looking one :(

Sweet!

That instrument cluster looks like the Australian VE-VF Valiant item, but maybe not? Can't quite tell. This guy Bob Hodgson has a '73 Charger 190 in the U.K. His is yellow.

Yeah, I like the blue/white combo. Of course, you could always do Mood Indigo with a snakeskin top.

->cue disco music<-

What color Snakeskin, or is that the name of a particular top color?

Snakeskin was a rare factory Mopar vynil top option, sort of a greenish gold color:

Mood indigo was the blue equivalent of plum crazy and was only offered for 1.5 years, I think 71-72.

ooooooookay

I was thinking in the direction of a dark poly silver reinstalling all the bright work to break it no vinyl roof either

Interior same as the restored car The white interior in this car was not original either it must be the same midnight blue as the restored one

Another option is to do coral blue q 3 in think
