Avanti color popularity?

[JBOYLE]

I might be mistaken...but awhile ago was there a thread discussing the popularity of the various Avanti colors?
The factory colors were broken down by percentage.

A long-time Stude restorer/driver/builder mentioned he thought the Avanti red was fairly rare. I thought it was a bit more common...

Yes, I've done a search and can't find it.

Thanks...

I can't find it either, but I suspect that Avanti White was most common followed by gold. I know the rarest is Avanti Maroon.

Thats interesting, I thought red would have been one of the more common colors for Avanti's. I personly think it is one of the better colors to have one in.
