I find the whole 1 of x thing when you start basing it on options other than engine a little silly.  bet just about anyone could claim their car is 1 of ~10ish when they start looking at all the different combinations of things you could do to mopars during this time period

 :iagree: I've been saying that for years. And also that my Challenger is one of one that I've owned for more than three decades  :bigsmile:

I counted 20 FC7/H6XW AAR's and 14 were D21 on the TransAmCuda.com website.  Not that they have everything, as i saw several blank paint cells between FC7 painted cars.  I would assume they painted them in batches.  Maybe someone else has a more complete list?

The magazines have made a lot of hay with the whole 1 of X deal. Unlike the other 2 major manufacturers of the era, Mopar was so kind as to allow anyone to buy anything in any configuration (almost) which has resulted in virtually no 2 cars identical in every aspect. That said, the investor types (and the decoder types) have turned this issue into cash by offering scarcity as a price driver. It works good on a non Mopar person; "my 73 slant six dart is only 1 of 2 known to exist with an am radio and bucket seats with the radiator sticker on the left side".... (no I don't have a 73 Dart). Once you get away from the major items such as engine, trans, rear axle, color and perhaps seats it becomes a bit silly. Its the pyramid effect; the more items considered the rarer a car becomes; unfortunately there is no way to verify any aspect of it other than the "authenticator" type people who have made a career of telling people how rare their car is which brings illusions of Barrett Jackson gold.

sorry for the rant; its a bit of a sore spot with me
