Judging from this fender tag, this car seems pretty rare. What do you guys think? 1973 Roadrunner.

I thought all Chevelles were SS?Aren’t all road runners after 1969 kinda rare? Really all of them compared to the amount of SS Chevelles made.
I'd drive it.
Can't find the 70-74 color page at hamtramckhistorical any more......
https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/paintChipCharts/1973PaintChipCharts-01.shtmlI'd drive it.
...but not terribly "rare".
Was not sure 1970 color FY1 made it until 73.
I thought there was a different color that year that was close.

I was thinking the car was decently rare because of the white stripe "V8W" with the "FY1" lemon twist. I have not really found any cars on the internet with this combo. Most seem to have come with a black stripe.400, 727, AC, yellow on white, disc brakes, dual mirrors.... not especially rare, but neat find for the right guy. Nicely optioned if you like those colors and AC.

So a "D34" code with a 400 would have been a 727? On most websites, I just see "light duty automatic transmission" or "standard duty transmission."
I have no way of knowing because the original transmission is long gone.
Light duty not so much. Standard duty would be a better name. Not the HD 727 like used in the 440-6 and Hemi cars. (probably trucks too)D34 in 1973 is the 727, definitely not "light duty" (wherever that came from). In 73 RR, the most common performance engine/trans combo is 400/727.
As far as white stripes, .....yes less common than black on a Y1 car.... but not unheard of, especially when the car has a white interior.
