No records were kept with those breakdowns. Year, model, engine, and transmission are about all that are known.
3C's & a D?

It was an expensive option very few cars would receive at the time. Great car! I have a '71 in the exact colours inside and out, it doesn't have the cassette on the hump but there is one on the roof (sunroof.) How many miles?

That would be an option tracked in the Options and Accessories report. IF a copy of the 72 Chrysler report survived and was accessible, we would have an answer.
Shown is an excerpt of the 70 Coronet O&A report listing some of the breakouts for US shipped cars. The radios are highlighted for an example.
Nice. I have not heard of that information being available.

Galen Govier distilled the factory O&A reports into a more model concise and reader friendly format. As the factory reports are in percentages, he did the math to give and approximate number of cars with that option.
His reports are typically where folks get the "1 of XXXX" data. You can know single options or items but you can't cross reference different options to come up with a new number (1 of XXX Hemi four speeds AND undercoating. That's were people get fouled up.
of the 4989 72 new yorker coupes 469 (9.4%) had R22 AM tape and 100 (2%) had R36 AMFM tape units
of the 4271 72 new yorker brougham coupes 427 (10%) had R22 AM tape and 218 (5.1%) had R36 AMFM tape units

Wow that’s good info
@TAD STIELSTRA -- congrats on getting this 1972 NYer 2dr. Looks like your car has the cool F6XW black-and-white interior as well as several power toys that were optional on the NYer (power seat, power windows). Could you possibly post a photo of the fender tag, the 2x3" metal plate listing many of the car's options? It is located on the radiator support in front of the battery.
What are your plans for the car?
PS: you may want to look up the thread that I started 4 years ago for the 1972 Chryslers. Many owners have posted about their cars there.

If you part out the car, I would be interested in the weatherstripping for Buttercup, my 1972 NYB 2dr. Most of mine is in good condition but there is one bit of it that got damaged when the vinyl top was replaced (the torn part is on the RHS, it's the roof surround that insulates the edge of the passenger front window) and it allows a bit of air/noise to seep in and I'd like to replace it. If yours is in good shape then I am definitely interested.
I would also be interested in the cat whiskers (aka top cat beltline whiskers, aka window felts) for all four windows. Buttercup's are fine, but the ones on Medina, my 1971 Monaco, have seen better days and your NYB's might work just fine for Medina.
Finally, do you have photos of the dash and of your steering wheel? My Buttercup's original rim blow steering wheel was cracked and I have replaced it with a not-quite-correct wheel. It looks like what I think I see in your pic above, but mine came from a B-body and so it does not have the correct texture for a C-body (it is grainy where it should be smooth). Hard to notice, but I know so I'd like to get it right if I can.

That item pictured is a Stereo Cassette Recorder
here are some for sale:
MOPAR CHRYSLER CASSETTE RECORDER #3501045 1970 1971 Road Runner Factory GTX Cuda | eBay
Mopar OEM Cassette-Type Player and Recorder with NOS Microphone 1970-73 | eBay
MOPAR CHRYSLER CASSETTE RECORDER #3501045 1970 1971 Road Runner Factory GTX Cuda | eBay
These were a very expensive option, and it took a radio that had a special plug in for the recorder to work.
They are rare to say the least.
Similar to the slave CD player in the early 1990's that cost an extra 1,200.00. A special radio that plugged into a separate CD player.
Very rare too.
Here is one in my 1992 Daytona ..radio on top and CD player below it.

Thank you for posting! Due to the FCBO down-sampling, which makes it almost impossible to read, I am not seeing much. One way around the issue would be to crop the photo on your own phone/computer (focusing on the sheet and cropping out the table), and repost.
