Hello, I have a factory FJ6 High Impact green 71 Demon 340. I was wondering how many were made in this color. I have only seen 3 legit others come up for sale since I bought mine 3.5 plus years ago. Thanks!
 
No exact numbers exist anymore. There was a % for the high impact cars, but there's some confusion regarding the Demon 340 cars. 1971 Demon production #'s show :

Fastback Coupe: 69,861
340 Fastback Coupe: 10,098
Total 1971 Demons: 79,959

So, with 4.2% as "Go green", that's approximately 424 1971 Go Green 340 Demons. But because of the questions about the 340 cars, well, it's very hard to say. And these %'s are from that GG guy, so, believe them or not as you wish.

Here's the %'s from another thread...

ok here is a breakdown of the high impact color production numbers by model. it is only the the percentages. these percentages will need to be divided into the car production totals to get the actual number of cars made with the paint color. these numbers are for 1970-1973 , sorry no numbers for 1969 models........

1970 dart 340: plum crazy=14% , sublime=6.7% , go mango=6.8% , hemi orange=7.1% , lemon twist=10.0% , green go=0.4% , panther pink=0.6%

1970 dart swinger: plum crazy=2.9% , sublime=1.0% , go mango=0.9% , hemi orange=1.1% , lemon twist=3.6% , green go=0.1% , panther pink=0.2%

1970 duster 340: plum crazy=3.2% , sublime=5.7% , go mango=5.7% , hemi orange=8.1% , lemon twist=11.3% , green go=1.7% , panther pink=1.9%

1970 duster: plum crazy=3.2% , sublime=2.2% , go mango=1.8% , hemi orange=1.4% , lemon twist=1.4% , green go=0.7% , panther pink=0.7%

1971 dart swinger: plum crazy=1.4% , hemi orange=1.4% , lemon twist=0.5% , green go=0.5% , citron yella=1.0% , bahama yellow=3.6%

1971 demon 340: plum crazy=9.5% , hemi orange=16.7% , lemon twist=0.1% , green go=4.2% , citron yella=7.1% , bahama yellow=8.9%

1971 demon: ? unknown at this time * percentages may be included with 1971 dart swinger #'s or combined with the demon 340 #'s*

1971 duster 340: plum crazy=3.6% , hemi orange=13.6% , lemon twist=1.8% , green go=6.5% , citron yella=6.7% , bahama yellow=5.0%

1971 duster: plum crazy=2.1% , hemi orange=4.6% , lemon twist=1.7% , green go=2.1% , citron yella=2.1% , bahama yellow=3.3%

1972 dart swinger: hemi orange=7.4% , lemon twist=2.8% ,

1972 demon 340: hemi orange=15.2% , lemon twist=10.4%

1972 demon: ? unknown at this time * percentages may be included with 1972 dart swinger #'s or combined with the demon 340 #'s*

1972 duster 340: hemi orange=11.7% , lemon twist=9.2%

1972 duster: hemi orange=3.6% , lemon twist=3.2%

1973 dart swinger: lemon twist=2.5%

1973 dart sport 340: lemon twist=10.5%

1973 dart sport: ? unknown at this time * percentages may be included with 1973 dart swinger #'s or combined with the dart sport 340 #'s*

1973 duster 340: lemon twist=9.7%

1973 duster: lemon twist=7.5%

* my guess on the non 340 model demons, and dart sport's are the numbers are combined with the 340 models. seeing as the percentages are higher on the 340 models and the production on these cars are fewer that the 340 plymouths models. could be wrong though. i will update if i find the correct breakdown on these models........

Thanks for the info! I am going to say it was a pretty rare color when new and it probably did not have a good survival rate. I mean if you were a kid in the late 70's and there were 2 or 3 Demon 340's on a used car lot and there was a GreenGo FJ6 car, I am guessing most would chose that car to modify and eventually destroy.

I don't think that's a good assumption. There are too many factors to make assumptions like that.

One also could say that a FJ6 car was out of the ordinary and might be more likely to be special ordered that built for dealer stock. And special ordered cars seem to survive and get treated better than cars off the lot.

Cars with lots of options have higher survival rates that stripper cars.
 
not rare enough to keep you from repainting it EL5 if you want ;)
 
Damn my '70 hemi-orange duster is 1.4%..didn't know they were that rare..best color they ever made:D:D
 
Special order (Y39) was for things not on the normal menu, like 999 paint.

If someone ordered a car (Y14) in one of the regular colors, it was not 'special'.
