All,

I have seen marti reports where the Order Type is either "retail" "stock" and "fleet". What is the difference ?

Thanks

Thank you @Hemikiller. I do not know why I did not think to look there.

Thats cool info. I never thought of how my baby was conceived before she was born in Dearborn and my Marti doesn't specify a code that matches. I would imagine a “retail” or “SPV” would put our ponies in a club catching up to the Mopars. Also, is there a “to date” registry of “still breathing” 71-73 (all models) vs built that would show our rarity?

I appreciate learning new info from you.
