<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: fsc66</div><div class="ubbcode-body">There were 5,233 Burnished Brown Nova's produced paint code 918 accounting for only 2.16% of all Nova colors produced.
Just some other info that may help the rarity question. Out of all the L78's produced: as you were already told only 682 had M22's, the rest of the L78's were broken up as follows: 64 3-speeds, 3751 M21's and 1009 3-speed automatics.

Just curious where you got the info on the breakdown of the transmissions with the L78 engine [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] I have been researching these cars for years and have never seen this data. You don't mention the M20 4spd...I would have thought that tranny would have a fairly high percentage of the total ??

**also your breakdown by tranny exceeds the total number of L78's built??

Total L78's shows 5262: 3-speeds: 64, 4-speeds: 4189, Automatics 1009 = 5262.

Never before know to exist book that I have access to, broken down by every RPO and then by ECL code. Sometimes by model.

Cool info. I always thought the th400 cars were approximately 20% of the total.
