I've been looking for pictures of any 71-74 RoadRunner that is painted in B5 blue with red stripes. I've seen a few pictures on line of a much lighter blue, more so like King Richard used that is described as B5 with red stripes but it's incorrect. I'm guessing there are a few cars that left the factory in these colors but I just haven't been able to find them. If you remember a car from many years ago that was spec'ed like that, please comment also. Is there any factory break downs of colors schemes available anywhere, ideally for the 1973 model year or the entire 71-74 production run?
 
Mind you, I am only speaking from memory here but have no pictures, data or proof...

I recall seeing my first blue with red stripe Road Runner circa 1984. I had my 73 Road Runner (then Tahitian Gold Maetallic, AKA brown) with a white stripe. Anyway, the blue with red stripe was very striking and it left an impression on me. My buddy and I were working at a summer job in Allentown, PA. I would state the car was a medium (B5) blue, but time may have altered that memory.

Anyway, I would think fairly few of them got this combo.
 
Reckon this is the lighter blue?

When I was in Boot Camp there was a 68 G?TX that was always parked along a road we marched past it every day... QQ-1 with a red stripe
Similar to this but a red stripe
