Wish I could find out how many 02 atlantic blue rcs were made. Shame they won't pass this info out.
Is it bad I use a 1 of 35 1992 Daytona IROCs as a daily driver over my 1 of 553 Dakota R/T? I mean, granted the gas mileage in the Daytona is twice as good as my truck gets, but it's also a hell of a lot more rare.

Hey, I like my Emerald Green Pearl Paint. LOL
If the numbers are right in Post#1 and my math is right. There are 1124 Solar Yellow 890 Deep Amethyst Pearl and 211 Amber Fire ??? Regardless of cab style and pre-2001. Unable to know how many amber fire trucks were made later on kinda screws this up. When did they drop that color? 01? 3 most rare colors for sure. Yellow was only 1 year and carry-over but they made a shit ton. Just my $0.02

I bought a '01 Amber Fire RC new, I called back in '03 (I think) and talked to a rep and after a long time on hold, she came back with "of the 2227 there made 29 were AF", but could not tell me RC vs. CC. (I still have the yellow post-it I wrote it down on!) However, I could never confirm!
I do know that in late Jan - early Feb of 2001 that the AF color was discontinued due to "production issues". I was told that because it was a pearl color it was hard to "get right" and the lack of demand for that color it was discontinued.
I special ordered mine after seeing a 2000 AF in person (WOW!) at the First DRTC meet in 2000, (My 2nd R/T earned the fastest Stock RC at the track that day ). I ordered my 2001 AF in Nov 2000 and was delivered on 12-5-2000 and I still that one and it only has about 5,800 on it today.
Hope this helps.
--Thanks Fred

Since chrysler doesnt seem to want to help us is there any way to figure anything from the vin number. My new 2002 graphite metallic club cab is vin number 1B7GL32Z92S658412, the Z indicates R/T (with the rare exception of a 5.9 quad cab) so does any number indicate color or production number so we could figure something out. I'm figuring it would have to be in the last six numbers or so since the other letters and numbers indicate something like plant where truck was built etc.
Guess we will never know. We'll have to get a member from detroit to date someone from Chrsyler and infiltrate the system.
When I was deep in research with this, iirc, the final numbers in the VIN do mean some type of production number, although the number is based off the Dakota build sequence (not trim), so the number indicates the number of Dakota produced that year, not the number of R/Ts.
VIN 1B7GL32Z92S658412 decodes as follows:
Country of origin: USA 1
Make: Dodge B
Vehicle type: Truck 7
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): 5001-6000 lbs. G
Vehicle line: Dakota, Dakota Shelby, Dakota Sport, Dakota 4x2 L
Series: (M), Medium 3
Body style: Club Cab or Sport Utility 2
Engine: 5.9L (360ci) EFI V8 Z
Check digit: Correct 9
Model year: 2002 2
Assembly plant: Dodge City Assembly (Warren, MI) S
Vehicle Build Sequence: 658412 658412

What does Chrysler say when you do a VIN check?
"Excuse me if I have some place in my mind, where I go time to time"
