I've never seen a color breakdown by percentage for 73.  I don't think it exists.

Two things that I've heard repeatedly are that 1) Chrysler didn't keep records broken down by color, and 2) many records that did exist were lost in a warehouse fire. I've asked a lot of people about the second point, and I've never found anyone who could verify that. I'm inclined to believe it, but to "really believe" it I'd want to hear something like the name of the warehouse or where it was located.

There are a lot of production numbers out there that don't agree with one another. I'm not certain, but I think a lot of them come from current numbers remaining and verified, and then extrapolated as a percentage to total production, which wouldn't be scientific, but would be a starting point.

I think the color break down exists for 70 and 71 but it just goes by % of total production.

I think you're right. Sorry that I wasn't complete; I was talking about 73s  :bigsmile:

Yeah, the '72-'73 cars were kinda left in the dust more than the '70-'71 cars.

When you say Corp Blue, are you talking the Dodge Super Blue/ Plymouth Basin Street Blue aka Petty Blue?  If so, all I know about this is that I think it was only offered on Challengers for 2 years, '72 and '73.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I had a 73 cuda that was petty blue(corporate blue).

I heard several people say that color was a very uncommon color. :dunno:
