that is one sweet looking car!

Wish I could afford something like that.  68K is up there.

It sure does seem like there are dozens more chally in red on red than cuda's.

I think I have only seen maybe three red on red cuda's.

Thanks for more pics !!!

Yeah, I saw that.  Not real sure where they got their numbers for that.
I have seen at least seven in any case.

I wonder how people get those numbers?
What book spells out how many color combos were made?

Wish I owned that book.

I'm guessing those are 15X8 wheels all around. Is that what you had Neil?

Mine was similar, but I just wanted more of the tire to show so... Expo leaf springs for me.

Since the original production records are not available (I've heard they were lost in a fire but who knows?)  My understanding is these stats are gleaned from registries like Barry's or Galen's.  The exact production numbers in terms of vehicles is known so some of those numbers are probably percentage based guesses.

No I had Appliance junk on my car when I bought it , all I could find / afford was 14" rallies with umm 25" tall tires can't remember the exact size , but the car sat very level / low , the body lines dropped towards the rear & the trunk lid sloped down as those two do , mine probably sat lower but at the same angle

Why would the designers of these cars let such small tires and saggy leaf's slide by?

It really hurts the look of the car.
