Cool Chart! I forgot that this was posted a while back. Check out how many RR's and GTX's came with rear shoulder belts (C14). Owning one of those would be fun!

Not to change the subject,but does anybody know if the drip rail moldings are the same for a vinyl top car and a hardtop roadrunner?

They're different. Vinyl top moldings are slightly larger to account for the vinyl wrapping over the drip rail.
I have a set from a vinyl top car if you're looking for a set.

Does any body have the high impact paint percentages. = what % of 71 cars had what high impact paint. I seen this somewhere and i remember only about 260 cars (71 Rm23) had FJ-6 sassy grass paint. I remember it because i have one of em.

They're different. Vinyl top moldings are slightly larger to account for the vinyl wrapping over the drip rail.
