Curious Yellow production #'s

[74plyduster]

Just curious if anyone has an idea how many Curious Yellow Dusters were produced in 1971? I'm rebuilding a Curious Yellow Duster 340 4-speed and just wondering how popular the color was.

In 1971, 6.7% of the total production of the 340 Duster were painted in Y3, no breakdown for auto or manual trans.
Hope this helps, as I do not have the total of how many 340 Duster's were produced handy at this moment.

...4,265 4 speed
...6,213 automatic
Total 10,478 USA plus about 1500 exported

Thank you. How does that compare to some of the other High Impact Colors produced that year?

Some "High Impact" colors were not available in '71, such as "Sublime", "Vitamin C Orange" and "panther Pink" although you could special order any color which would be a code 999 on the fender tag.
But for example "Lemon Twist" as the lowest percentage at 1.8% in '71, the highest being "Hemi Orange" at 13.6%.
These figures reflect the 1971 "340 Duster" only.

So, safe to say, 7% GY3 '71 Dusters = about
300 4-speeds
435 automatics
