Chrysler did not keep records of how many cars were made with a particular color. All we can do is keep track of how many we know of. This thread has my list of A12 cars broken down by color, hardtop or coupe. It is based on cars that I know exist or have existed. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1 Scroll to the very end of the thread for the most recent update.

I agree that it is pretty interesting stuff. I enjoy tracking down A12 cars as much as owning one. At least we can get a general idea of how many might have been built in certain colors.
Here is another thread discussing A12 color breakdown.

My dream is to own an A12 in every color. Doesn't matter how nice or rusted. So far I have checked off bahama yellow, B5 blue, F6 green, and R4 red. It sure is fun to dream.  I really think a black one is out of my league, unless I fall into one. Rick.

I wanna see a picture with them together. Some people call Daytona's 69 1/2's. So two 69.5 cars, Dodge and Plymouth.
Can bring one to Fall Fling so we can see one in person.

JD, can you tell me how the back end of that car was set up, and what size meats? I have some old mini tub mods to contend with, so one thought might be to go back to some kind of widened wheelwell? The outside lip on the frame rails is clipped along the upper edges. Ed

Stock wheel wells, Lakewood traction bars, stock springs, 11.5 x 29 x 15 on 8" rims. The wheel opening lip was turned up. Nothing too fancy but it hooked up great. Photo is from 1973 at Old Dominion Speedway, Manassas, VA.

Where is it now?
in the usa  vin rm21m9a146391
Is that VIN correct? I've never seen a VIN that low (9A146391) as an A12. 9A146391 would be about an October or November 1968 Lynch Road production....or there about, I think? How about 9A246931 with a 3-29 Scheduled Producton Date? That would put your car around number 9, 10, or 11 if I'm guessing correctly

Back in those days, you didn't get 60' times. This was an 1/8th track and they did not have mph either. I had 4.88's and use to pop the clutch at about 6200RPM's and kick in the secondaries at the same time (mechanical secondaries). I'm sure it was way different than your setup. It weighed about 3600 lbs with driver, .626/310 cam, 13.6:1, 2" custom (nickel plated) "Headers by Ed" if you ever heard of them?, 1.88 exhaust valves, 4.88's, stock 4 speed 11.25 @120.0 was it's best. It would come off the line ahead of many faster cars but I could never get the mph up. It was a street machine.
