I should have numbers by color for this car.

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Very nice!!

Sorry, only have Sport Satellite hardtop numbers - 0.6% were EK2. No saying a Satellite has equal rarity . . . oh, wait, I DO have the numbers:

0.4% of Satellite hardtop V-8s were EK2

So we need to look up the US production for this model (24,803) and multiply the two, and we arrive at 99, give or take a few.

It may be a good idea to confirm the US production stats for this model because I'm merely going by a reproduction of Chrysler docs.

Thanks for looking that up. I kinda figured it was a rare color on this car. I've never seen another and another cool factor is that the original owner took delivery in late 71 as it sat on Reedmans lot for over a year. I guess back then it was not a desirable color combo for a sattelite buyer. You usually only see a superbird in a High Impact color. This is definitely a special car in its own right.

Holy crap it still had the REEDMAN emblem on it ... I havent seen that in years

I'd make one change: Factory Chrome Msgnum 500s or Keystone Classics with the appropriate black wall tires. I'm not usually a fan of Keystones, but I think the black on either of those two wheels and the black vinyl top would complement each other.
What a nice car!

Not when you saw it in person Dave. I thought the same thing and then as I kept looking at it I told myself this car has t stay virgin. The hubcaps were mint. I wanted to put double whitewalls on it like the original spare tire. That's all it needed. It's on its way to a museum now where it belongs.
