There are two mistakes that you're making which is pretty common in the Mopar world. That is, you cannot combine options to arrive at a production figure. It is possible to find out how many pink cars were built, but not how many had the Six Pack or the Shaker.
The other mistake is that stripe color records were not kept, so it is not known how many cars got the pink stripe. I think more than 4 survive, including KissAlien's. His site (and email) can be found here. |

Also keep in mind that its probably better to say its how many are known to exist and not actually made. This can be better defined by the 71 Hemi Cuda Convertibles. At one time only 4 were supposed to have been made and now I think its up to 7 or 8 even if you count the re-bodied one in the Detroit area.

At least as far as the 70 cuda's are concerned, you can figure out how many 6 pack, or 440, or 340 cars were made becasue the engine and carburation is coded into the cars VIN. Example the AAR Cudas, and T/A Challengers have VINs that start with BS23JOB, or JS23JOB. Same with the 440's and the 440 six packs (different numbers though). You still can't combine options like colors, and shakers with production numbers and come up with a meaningful total number of cars though. Sort of like my Buddies old 440 six pack 4 speed RT Challenger Convertible. He used to throw around numbers like 1 of 60, which is supposedly the number of 4 speed 440 6 Pack RT challenger convertibles (out of something like 100 total 440 6 pack rt convertibles. I'm sure he could have lowered the number considerably if he included the power windows, power top, 8 track, rim blow horn, etc. that the car had.
