Default Re: A honest shot at 70 L78 L89 Chevelle

Maybe chances don't lie, but they can mislead. Use standard statistical analysis to determine the probable number built of a certain combination of colors and options.

Assume you are standing next to an L89, black, with red interior and AM/FM. Also assume (for purposes of illustration) the L89 is 1:119, and all the other options are 1:10. The mathematical odds that this particular combination exists is 119 X .10 X .10 X .10 = .119. The probability that the car you are staring at actually exists, is 1:0.119....essentially 1 of none. Can't be, because you are looking at one in front of you! The math didn't lie, but......
