Thanks Aero! I guess instead of popular I should've said most produced? We've been getting a lot of requests to do the wing car magnets and we typically like to produce a run of the top 3 most common colors. Do you know off hand of the top 3 for each car? Thanks!

Back in 70 my dealer friend showed me a photo of an entire line of SuperBirds on his dads lot..He said the hardest to unload was a white one and a sublime one... If I could pick a color on a Daytona it would be QQ1 with white stripe..Or a black car with a red stripe..  On a SuperBird I would have to go with B5
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

I assume these are the Superbird colors as I rarely see yellow or blue Daytonas.

Ive asked before but no answer, Why was there NO black TX9 Superbirds? 
They may have picked the colors to simplify manufacturing and not have to deal with so many different colors as on the Daytonas. But why no black is a mystery to me, considering they did white.

Chrysler only built Super Birds as they were forced to by NASCAR so Richard Petty and other could race them, I doubt Chrysler gave a rats behind what color consumers had to choose from, but black would look really great on one, they were not popular as some sat on dealer lots for several years while new, I had a B-5 blue one in the 90's I almost painted it plum crazy, I knew I would get killed on the price if I ever sold it, Being a color they never made
There is factory documentation that clearly shows Superbirds having the ordering option of any color choice that was available on the 70 Plymouth line....now as to why the dealers never promoted it?, or were even made aware of it? perhaps they didn't want to be straddled with "lot vultures" as these cars new weren't readily accepted by the buying public, and they were just interested in moving the cars allotted to them...there have been rumors from day one of black and In-Violet Superbirds

I was 13 when the Chrysler rep. came in my Dad's dealership, The rep and my Dad were talking in the showroom about the new Superbirds, The factory rep was basically begging my Dad to take a few of them, I remember dad saying he couldn't sell one and politely told the rep no.
This could be the main reason why they are in the colors everyone knows, There are 3 that were painted burnt orange by mistake that I have heard of,The factory needed to get them built so Petty could race one and NASCAR would approve it, A plum crazy bird would look awesome, I was unaware you could order a different color

Official 'options' vs. '999'...
Nothing would surprise me...
Usually the 99/999 Superbirds are Petty Blue, the Burnt Orange birds (3 to date) fall under "Dealer Inquiry Service Order #4923" for optional color request, IIRC they are not coded 99/999
There's always a few oddball wingcars that pop up with supposedly "non available" options...there's a fully documented B5 Superbird with a B5 matching bucket seat interior
