I’ve got 13 of these cars but I have never seen an SE with a hardtop roof like this? The car is supposedly original although it has a boar grain vinyl top instead of the snake skin pattern that 73/74 SE chargers had with louvered windows. Did someone go to extremes to fake this?

It looks real to me but could be the only one made? I didn’t think it was possible to even order one like this
 
Somewhere I have a brochure and I believe that was a no cost option (so it is original), Not sure why anyone would do that though. Rallye gauges?

I would like to see a picture of that page in your brochure for historical purposes if you have time!
 
It is a "WP" vin? Is there a fender tag?
 
It would be rare with the sunroof. I've always had mixed feelings on the traditional 73-74 SE roof but at least it is distinctive and in 73 it was in style. You couldn't really tell it was an SE with the other option.
 
I had a nice solid Texas all original 318 triple green S.E. with Halo top years ago.

Well, looking at the grills, tail lights extra chrome and wider rocker molding you could tell is an SE still with emblems missed ( including hood medallion )

EDITING… also looking at the cluster, since Rallye cluster was part of the packages on Rallyes and SEs only.
 
Sounds a couple of you had chargers with that top option. .very interesting. The one I posted was the first I’ve seen. .it sold for 10,500 on thursday
