Yeah this rootbeer one is advertised as only 1, but I have heard that one of the Canadian collectors has one
At least 3 exist.
There was another south of Detroit in the 90s.

I concur. I saw one, in a garage, with crap stacked on top of it, in Harper Woods, MI, in 1980 or '81. At that time, I thought it was the most hideous color I've ever seen. The thing is, though, was it a repaint or original?

I have spoke with Steve recently and he does own one of the root beer color
Superbirds that were keyed in the wrong color!

Apparently there is a gentleman in Canada that has over 30 wing cars. Some of which are in color/engine combinations that have never been seen before. Typical of these accrued older collections, the owner will remain unknown by most until the collection eventually gets passed on. If it's true, which I have no reason to believe it isn't based on how I was informed about it, it will be interesting to see/hear about it when the collection is exposed.

i recently sold some parts to a guy from Canada that has quite a collection of wing cars and hemi cars many off the radar for years he has about 50 cars in total mostly original low mileage cars he started buying them in the late 70s

I remember reading a article in a Mopar Magazine about the only known FK5 Burnt Orange (rootbeer) This seems like it was 20+ years ago. I got the magazine somewhere but with 1,000 Mopar Mags would take for ever to find. Maybe Spokes & wheels Museum in Kansas? something like that?  Ron Slobe or Januwski?LEON.
