rarest color is probably 999
After thinking about it, using the 999 paint code is sort of like cheating. Maybe we shouldn't use the codes that let us make up anything we'd like.
No 999 paint, Z special order engine digit in the VIN, D49 special order transmission, or D69 special order axle. I've seen all but one of these on real E bodies, but lets don't be silly. 
I don't want to build the '70 Challenger SE w/BOSS 429 power & paint it "LeMans Blue" that Dan mentioned earlier in this thread.

What other interesting colors combinations can you think of?
From a rarity standpoint, I think paint would be...
1. FJ6 Green-Go
2. FM3 Panther Pink
3. TX9 Black
4. BL1 Beige
5. DY3 Cream
6. EB7 Dark Blue Metallic
Interiors would be...
1. HRT5 Leather Bucket Tan
2. HRK4 Leather Bucket Burnt Orange
3. H5B5 Cloth & Vinyl Bucket Blue
4. H5K4 Cloth & Vinyl Bucket Burnt Orange
5. H4B5 Vinyl Split Bench Blue
6. H6E4 Vinyl Bucket Red
For the most part, those paint colors are rarer than those interiors.
Were FJ6 or FM3 available for V02? What interiors could they have?
Than again, the Split Bench Seat is pretty tempting. Almost everyone has some type of buckets.

TX9 paint
9T Tan bumble bee stripe
Tan interior
FT6 two tone top......
Now you're thinkin'!
While everyone is building purple Challengers, there's going to be someone out there who will build a white car with VJ9 stripe and FJ5 painted top. Not only would it look stunning, but he's gonna get all the glory in the magazines because he creatively used the option list to build a special car.

just because everyone is building purple clones? 
Yes.
Why do the same, old same-old when there's a whole 'nother world out there?

Those would be beautiful V02 color combinations, but the code guide I'm looking at says interior on V02 cars should match the lower paint color. (black in your examples)
I like the idea of the V02. It's more rare than the Gator Grain top. Anybody know how many 70 Challengers had a factory M51 Sun Roof?
Tav
The way I was reading it was that one of the two exterior colors had to match the interior. Maybe I didn't read it carefully enough.
IMHO it's just more stunning if the interior matches one of the exterior colors (stripe or top).

Because the fender tag says it came that color thats why.
Then if you're building a car per the fender tag, there's a good chance it isn't a clone, right?

All the examples I see in the coding guide show the interior matching the lower body color, but I definately agree that a colored interior that coordinated with the V02 Top color would look fabulous!
Isn't there a waiver or edit code somewhere that allows the use of non recomended color combinations? I don't see it at the moment.

I can't begrudge an original FC7 car.
Especially with a V9Y stripe, although even those are starting to get tiring. 
I have a FC7 383 two barrel 70 Vert with air, with white interior and top, I added a V9W white Bumble Bee Stripe to the rear, according to the chart posted it looks like you could only get the V9Y Stripe? WOW I thought for sure you could get a white rump stripe.

I think it's an issue of the chart being poorly done because obviously white or black stripes go with any color. I didn't notice this before.
