I got my info from Jim Mattison/PHS. Jim said that the Champaign color was unique for a GTO and that it was the only RA IV Rag top he was aware of in that color combo and that it may indeed have been the only one produced.

Nothing different than what Galen does for Mopars Color/Options.

Well, I was being facetious, but Galen doesn't make those claims. Those claims come from his registry or from magazines that don't know what they're talking about.

There's a Champaigne RAIV ragtop at the Russo and Steele auction in Scottsdale coming up. Unless Jim goes through all 40 invoices and finds out how many were trimmed like this car, I don't believe any of it.

What a coincidence, about 7 posts back Stefano posted..”We have a very nice RA IV rag top 4 speed GTO, possibly one of one color combo going to Arizona for auction! “

I may have answered my own question
http://www.russoandsteele.com/collec...a_iv/6877.html

"Pontiac Historical has told us that this may be the only GTO RAIV sold in this striking color combination."

Galen will "make those claims" if you ask. This, of course, is based on factual info he has retrieved from the Chrysler records. He can pull from his database drivetrain, color, option combos and if you request a "page 2" to your Chrysler Registry letter, he will spell out the rarity of your car in writing.

For the record, this car makes me...
