Yes, it's one of 3 - 4.10 DANA FF4 cars on the "list"

How many of the FF4 cars have the fiberglass TA style hood ? :D

I think it's safe to say that number is ONE

6bblgt

in regards to the 1 of 1 claims, just the available combinations for the above color combos "studies" for EF8 & FF4
and I'm sure there are combos not accounted for: tan interiors in FF4 cars & other body side mouldings

EF8 (1) x interiors (6) x tops (5) x stripes (9) x hood treatment (2) = 540 combinations
FF4 (1) x interiors (4) x tops (4) x stripes (6) x hood treatment (2) = 192 combinations

so that's 732 possible combinations represented by those 56 R/Ts, strictly looking at colors

of the 19 FF4 R/Ts: my car is this one:

1 of 2 with H6X9 - black vinyl interior
1 of 10 with V1F - green vinyl top
1 of 5 had V6X - black side stripes

& it has the N94 "fiberglass fresh air hood"

.... the prior EF8/FF4 lists do show the dominance of the green/green/green combinations  :bigmoney:

From the info you have I would assume mine is not very common
70 R/T
440 4bbl
Automatic Tran.
H6T5 - interior
EF8 - paint
VF1 - top
V5F - body side molding ( which I couldn't find replacement pieces)
Air conditioning
Power steering and brakes
Rim blow horn
Rear window defogger
Am/Fm radio

I have tried to find out approx. how many were made like this but have had no luck. I have only seen pics of a convertible that was F8 and tan interior but none of hard tops. Thanks for sharing what info you have that's the most info I have on cars like mine.

I too am surprised there are not more green/tan cars - got pics?
yours would be the 3rd R/T with EF8/H6T5 & I don't have any pics of the others

I also have ~55 JH EF8 car's info & there are 2 convertible 340 cars that are EF8/H6T5

my BH info - 1 EF8/H6T5
my BP info - 0 EF8 & tan
my BS info - 2 EF8/H6T5 & 1 EF8/PRT5

:takepicture:

here's the Barracuda  :tool: wonder if it's currently green/tan  :dunno:
one of the 'cudas - For Sale at the Mopar Nat's a few years ago - but it lost its "GREEN"  :bigmoney:
& one of the Challenger 'verts - a couple years ago from eBay (I thought I had better pics)  :huh:

An email from them would have been nice, maybe a tracking number  :dunno: I'll see what they say tomorrow if they answer my email.

I just them an email to see if they have the vinyl in stock now. So are you pleased with what they sent you?  And it was the wide seam?  It's been so long I can't even remember what the cost was do you remember?
