I do not have them, and I'm fuzzy with availability of rubber bumpers for the Chargers other than the R/T and Super Bee, but certainly someone out there may have the numbers.

I found a site that breaks down as far as how many superbbes, 500's and R/T's where built but what about options and colors. How do you find out if it's one of ?? www.eelcoequipped.com

From what i understand there is no way to know any option or color breakdowns unless all the cars are accounted for in production, which will never happen. The only thing i thought we had was car build numbers which are designated in the VIN not the buildsheet or fendertag...

You're mixing up some the real facts with some of the items that people use for facts, such as Galen's Registry. 4976398-68cudaP1s.jpg (277 downloads)

The vin is very low 0048. I will post pictures when it quits snowing. Also the build sheet was still under the back seat in readable condition.

BTW, I had a '71 Bee EV2 with colored bumpers.

Black color, stripes, vinyl top and interior. Basically all black. Also has A/C and a 440 magnum. www.eelcoequipped.com

NYC	Those numbers are for ALL Chargers, so you cannot use a percentage from a sample and apply it to something smaller, like the R/T. When you see actual numbers, it's because there actually is a percentage for that model that exists. For 1971, things get a little funny and much of that info that you seek just isn't there.
