Welcome @jeffrt1970 (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/jeffrt1970_2378)  to the site.   :welcome:  There's not a perfect answer to the question since there is not detailed info available.  But @6bblgt (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/6bblgt_211)  is the best guy to ask.  He might be able to give you an idea about how many EF8 Challengers there were in 1970.

Welcome to the site from Panama !! :wave:
F8 was quite popular so There should be a fair # built especially with the N code 383 / 727 combination

Well there was a time when 70% of all E bodies were EF8   :yes:

And they built 6014 383 Magnum 727 Auto Challengers.....

But now most of them are painted Plum Crazy or Sublime.......

1970 Challenger R/T hardtop - JS23

14,889 total built for USA (Y05), Canada (Y07) and Export (Y09)

the numbers out there represent the majority, 13,668 of the 13,796 built for USA
EF8 was chosen ~6.8% of the time 929 (+/-7) on the JS23

EF8 "dark green metallic" was the 7th most popular color (of 20 choices), FC7 "plum crazy" was most popular at >3,000 cars

I haven't seen any numbers for CANADA or EXPORT spec. cars

 :welcome: @jeffrt1970 (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/jeffrt1970_2378) ..... double check your fender tag decode  :takealook:

the top line - "Y0Z" should be "Y07"
your stripe code - should be either "V6X" or "V9X"


check it from the backside, it's sometimes easier to read
