People seem to have a hard time reading Marti reports.
According to that report, there were 58 yellow 1970 convertibles. That includes all 1970 yellow convertibles. 37 of those were yellow with the black (FAA) interior. So 21, were yellow with other interior call outs.
Im guessing “1 of 6” is a further breakdown from and elite report where is says something like six of these cars were sent to New England. Not really relevant in my opinion.
1 of 6 might also refer to yellow exterior/ black interior/ GT500/ auto trans/ white convertible top/ no ac convertible cars. Again, after you pile on a half dozen qualifiers it kind of dilutes the “rare” statement in my opinion.
The DSO is meaningless. It only refers to a batch of cars built with similar features and sent to AOSmith for conversion.
Absolutely agree, guys really think there is value in having the only car that came with a tissue dispenser making it 1 of 1
and you can’t get the “Clueless” to understand that. And I here them go around at mustang shows saying “This car is a 1 of 6”. And come to find out it is something so meaningless. BUT....They think they have a car much more valuable than the identical sitting right next to them
I hear you and understand your point. In this case the car being discussed is 1 of 5 1970 Yellow GT500 convertibles that were automatic. That is a little more significant the a tissue dispenser. Ed has the one 4 speed 70 yellow convertible and its a drag pack too.
