In 1972, the Challenger saw only a few cosmetic changes and was offered as either a Hardtop or a Rallye Hardtop. For 1973, cosmetic changes were very minor. They received a revised grille insert along with larger rubber bumper guards to comply with safety regulations. For 1973, Doge produced 32,596 examples of its Challenger hardtop Coupe. This was a slight increase over the prior year's production, which had seen 26,658 examples produced.
