Canadian-built Roadrunner - how rare?

[Y07Roadrunner]

Looking for some feedback on just how rare this car might be?

I just got my hands on a real-deal 1970 Roadrunner convertible, factory 4-speed car. It is a legit RM27/D21 car. Everything I read online says that Plymouth only built 149 4-speed convertible RR's in '70. So I know it is "rare", but my car has code Y07 on the fender tag. This means it was built for export. The bottom of the build sheet has "CANADIAN JOB" typed across the bottom.

Can anyone shed any light on how many rag-top 4-speed RR's were built for export in 1970 ???

Cool car and combo.

White book shows ~ 200 four speed RR convertibles of all engine types built for sale in the US.
I do not believe Canada or Export numbers are accessible like the US sold numbers so there is no way to know how many were sent to Canada.

It's safe to assume fewer went to Canada but where it wound up is merely interesting; not significant.

Yes.. His is a Y07 code Canadian car.
