So how many EL5 convertibles??

Looks like the options report only shows the count for the P6EW Leather bucket seats (33) and does not have the Red and White interior listed in the other 2 seat options H6 and H4. It appears that these colorful interiors - EW, BW, FW - were late additions to the dealership color and trim brochures as Barry's website shows:

Very interesting, thank you! I’m surprised so many but I guess out of 2165 total it makes sense.
So that’s 3.46% and 3.46% of 126 N-code cars is 4.36 cars.

Ok tym. I'm contacting them about my particular car. I contacted them about a year ago maybe less about looking for a build sheet for my car. I think I just need to send them info on it lol.

Not hijacking, welcome to the site from the Motor City! I show 355 of them built. Do you own 1 of them?

My car came with a 3 speed manual. JS23NOB 383 R/T. It's a 4 speed now.

my new to me FC7 70 U code challenger is an RTSE 4spd which supposedly they only made 142 in 1970. I wonder of those how many were FC7

 

[340challconvert]

They made 599 RT SE JS29 1970 Challengers in FC7 = 16%
Take 16% of the 142 cars; would be a rough estimate. 22-23 CARS from the 142 built

thanks! Hmmm of 22-23 cars...I wonder how many are still on the road

 

[DetMatt1]

Let’s say 20% of the 22/3 would be a fair guess however there are far more purple cars now than were originally produced.
