Yes, The GTX still has the original mylar tag on the drivers door. It reads AUGUST 1969 and then the vin number in the other spot. I bought this GTX in March of 1970 with 8,000 miles on it and have stored it indoors and used it only as a race car. It's the one pictured in my avatar. It retains it's original paint, vinyl top, trim, stripes and much more! Thanks for the replies! MJ

I had a similar situation with my 1971 GTX RS23U1G100327 with 803 spd . It was an unrestored survivor in GY3 Curious Yellow . I often wondered myself how close it was to being the "first" GY3 71 GTX . After finding part of the ST Louis newspaper dated Aug 10 under the carpet left by an assembly line worker, and finding the broadcast to another 71 GTX with an 810 spd under the other half of my back seat , but only about 300 latter in the sequential number, I concluded my car was most likely built on Aug 10 instead of the 803 spd. As already mentioned ,Their is no way of knowing the answer to your question. . All you can do is say it is certainly one of the first to be painted that color .
Greg Wow... I find that very interesting about the paper. I have heard of many different things found but first time for that. Thanks for sharing.
