1973 Fury Special - as rare as hen's teeth

[marko]

Would you know how many Dodge Polara 2dr and 4dr Spring Specials were produced? I would think the number would be lower.

yes lower 2282 2dr htops and 2513 4dr htop Polara Customs had the A82 Special pkg.

Ok that's what I thought. Lower numbers on both. Thank you so much!

I know for sure that you could have 1970 Gran Coupes in a variety of colors and (non-paisley) vinyl roof shades. So customers interested in the mere added value of the equipment otherwise optinal could choose standard colors and standard interiors.

If that applies to the 1973 Spring Special/Gold Sticker Value cars, too, then the KT9 Dark Chestnut metallic exterior paint was not mandatory.

No, it’s the alternate paint option. Sahara Beige

Amazingly enough, whereas PM43K3D248325 (an A82 just bought by @Youngblood1989 and with the tag here) is KT9 Dark Chestnut metallic, PM43K3F226297 (your A82, tag here) is HT8 Chestnut metallic,-- not dark chestnut, seemingly in contradiction to the Mopar ad you posted above.

Interesting. @69CoronetRT

Both have the same J3L3 interior code yet carry different second door trim codes. HL4 vs HL2. The 2 being a lighter shade to go with a darker exterior code. Interesting.....

What does the J3L3 code mean? I tried to order an interior sample from SMS, but they don’t list that trim code.

L means beige / tan interior. 3 is how dark the shade is, from 1 (almost white) to 9 (very dark brown).

J3 is a code outside the 1973 regular trims. 3 is an odd number, so it’s vinyl and cloth.
