A theory I have....The color rare and tasteful combo thread

[DMZ73]

I have spent some time pondering the rarity of certain color combos, as I am sure most of you all have.
There are rare color combos, and there are popular color combos.
Lets take the popular in the era context: in 1970 it was popular to order the Sublime ext w/Blk int, black roof, bumble bee stripe, or the Hemi orange, blk int/black roof/black stripe. -remember this is just an example.
In 70 and 71, the most popular colors were the high imact colors. T
he "freaks" you could argue were the plain janes, or standard colors that you and I know so well today.
Silver. White. Black.
The tawny gold, tan, sunflower, puke green, etc were also polular in the period, but somehow, the colors did not preserve their "value".
Now we approach the topic of rarity.

Every once in a while, a highly coveted color combo comes across the auction block-wether it is Ebay or BJ, or RM.
Rare color combos- I am not talking about the tawny exterior w/green interior and white top -(Just plain bad taste)
This is what I am referring to:
The Black 70, with red interior, red dash, red stripe, black roof car. rare because they only made the red interior available  in 70.So far as I have seen, there were 2 of these that survived.
The triple black combo - stripe or no stripe seems to be an oddity.I have seen a fair share of true 70 triple black cars, but not 71s. I know of 3 in total. 1 on a magazine, one I saw in FLA, a true 71 triple v1x car, and another that graced the cover of a Mopar magazine.
So that leads me to the next set of oddities.
Anyone ever see a triple brown car, w/gator vinyl roof? Stripe or no stripe, it does not matter.
What about the Silver car with the burnt orange interior, no vinyl roof?
This leads me to my next point, did they make a triple orange car? (no Vinyl roof) w/the orange stripe?

Now, the ultimate question persits.
Is there a triple red car?
We have seen the triple blue, black, white, possibly orange, possibly brown, green.....
You could argue that if you ordered it, you could get it. I have heard of a red on red car, but did they make a triple red car?

Your thoughts?

Definitely seen a triple green and white cars as a member here has a green one and lives close to me.  Triple red?    I assume when you say triple, you mean the interior, exterior and vinyl roof all match.     Don't see many red or yellow vinyl roofs.    


Oh and       Post your triple cars here!

Maybe we should get a thread going.

The infamous triple thread.

I have seen a red on red with a white top.  I am not sure about the top. That is an unknown.
triple green, yeah, all day long. Triple white, sure no problem, almost bought one.
Triple blue- an easy one.
Triple black- my friend owns a triple black stripe delete -BSM 71 RT. GALEN V GOVIER even took a snapshot of his build sheet.

Stay tuned for the pics

Triple colors are rare but mostly only apply to hardtops as converts only came in Black or White tops so that kind of cuts down on the color options. I know of a 70 triple black Hemi Cuda but it was a stripe delete car. I think my car classifies as a rare color combo. Hemi Orange-white convert. top with white side stripe and a Saddle Tan leather interior. Not to many of them running around ( actually mine is the only one I ever saw)

I didn't realize your interior was that color Js.  The colors look very nice together!

[AllGreen70RT]

How about quadruple cars? My 70 R/T originally came green exterior, interior, vinyl top and green stripes. There are 8 or 9 Challengers known to have come this way. I decided against putting the green vinyl top back on.

[rtgambit]

My 71 R/T is double black. Black car, black interior, but no vinyl top. Oh, and stripe delete.

Rare? Who knows!

Rusty? Definitely! (but getting less rusty all the time!)

What motor is in your car? My friends car is the 383. It would be cool to see some pics.

Got pics? let's post em. Maybe I should rename this thread : The color combo whammy.
