Thanks R413
I'm guessing JA5 is Silver Frost.

Really appreciate the other detail, great stuff! Have a great evening.

The name of the paint changes for Chrysler, dodge and Plymouth. The code is the same for the model year. Your paint store may tell you the frost digit doesn't mean anything, they are wrong, the first digit means the year the paint was introduced. J = 1973

chrysler has DY3 and GY3. EB5 and GB5
 
Pretty neat color combination there!
 
Interesting combo silver with a black top and blue interior.

I've never seen "F1", is that the lowest price class bench?

That'd be odd on a 400 4 barrel car.

...or is that the high back, split bench with armrest?

A2 and B2 would still be a little lower trim

Whoa- check out the door panel in that illustration.

It's a circa '73 top but with a 68-70 style arm rest and door handle!

Did 4 doors retain those arm rests past 70?
 
its interesting that this car has a non-rallye dash but from what I see looking at other '73 Sebring Plus, they came with Rallye dash. Possibly Rallye dash was still an upgrade option?
 
It's not an RP SSP, it's an RH Satellite Sebring.

RH got a wood grain sweep cluster.

RP and RM got the rallye dash, RL got a silver sweep, and also a raised black and silver pass side panel with no emblem.
