[Shotimes] opal frost

[Ron Porter]

With only 20K Gen 3s ever built, and a number of them going to the crusher dues to bad cams, it doesn't matter what color you buy!!
 
FWIW, there were only 201 Barney cars made, and at least two were totaled, with Kirk resurrecting the 3rd (that we know of) totaled one.
 
Barney cars are probably the rarest, but there was also the charcoal in '96, plus they seemed to change the green color about every year.

Ah, good point. The source page I was going from only deals with Gen1's 
and Gen2's. Gen3's are a whole other ball of wax. The only Gen3 color 
spec data I can find from a quick search doesn't list production numbers 
but just what colors were available in what years:

I thought I'd seen a page with a color break-down for the Gen3's but 
after a few minutes of searching, haven't found anything.
