moparx, no, not all 1969 383's were orange, it varied with application and HP ratings. This is why I said that 383's and 440's were a different deal, there were variables. I believe the HP difference you are referring to is the 330hp vs the 335hp versions. Here's an original 69 383 330hp (383 Four Barrel) version (N code Coronet Station Wagon) which was not orange.
