Here is a pic of the engine compartment, you can see some of the Rallye Green beneath the wiper motor.
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Rallye green Is very rare on a 69 GTX, I have never seen one before
Strange that someone painted it F8 green
I was thinking the same thing>>>>

If Rallye Green was not released for the GTX, you might expect to see a 99 paint code or something special with the VON. Neither is there. If it was released for the GTX, you think you'd see more cars in this color and from other plants also.

1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs. Over 2,000 thanks to you!

Surely there are more 69 GTX's with Rallye Green, when was the color actually released?
Spring (Special) of 1969, so Lynch Road assembled cars would be around (guessing) 25XXXX on the VIN's and I'd doubt that any brochures that were already out notified anyone that was shopping that Rallye Green was available on a GTX and most of the color sheets with 97 on it would have been in the service department or the paint shop. They did a sales bulletin on the color but I think it was more geared toward the Road Runner and Super Bee with the Dodge version.

According to this undated, but by the context of the memo sent in January 1969, it was released February 1 for the Road Runner only. The four color chart for the A12 cars also state Road Runner only.
paint code 97 PIB release-page 1 paint code 97 PIB release-page 2
The earliest 97 car I have on file has a 3/10 SPD.
(It's a common belief that F6 and 97 were released with the A12s but both colors were available a before the A12s came out.)
If 97 was a color released only for the Road Runner but ordered on a Dart or Barracuda, I think you would see 99 or special VON coding.
That's what's odd about this car; there's no special coding for the paint.
Maybe we have one car that was destined to be a RR wind up a GTX and a car destined to be a GTX that wound up a Road Runner.
