Was Omaha Orange a '68 Factory road runner color? I can't find it on any '68 paint chip sheet so was it a "Spring Special" color or something on that "order". Thanks.

There was a 999 code Omaha '68 RR 383 car in SoCal; it was still in its original paint when I saw it about 5-6 years ago.

Yes, "Omaha Orange" was factory applied on '68 Road Runners.
A recent thread on the same/similar subject.
"Omaha Orange" vs. "Tiger Orange" etc. & yes there are a few "SPECIAL ORDER" 999 paint code Chargers.

Sorry, I don't remember the owners' name, nice guy, may have belonged to the CPW club there. I think Chris is the guy that bought a black Hemi RR project from me maybe 8-10 years ago.

It was at one of the Flings; the guy may have lived in Camarillo, I don't recall.
Jeez, that was about 12 restorations, 4 jobs, 3 moves, 3 homes, 2 or 3 girlfriends, a million things, and maybe 20 cars ago!

I had an orange 68 Barracuda fastback 999 car. I couldn't find the paint number in any 68 paint charts, but it did show up on a 69 sheet as a special color along with a yellow and a green. I had my car painted using generic "Omaha Orange" since I couldn't find the "real" color, and it wasn't the same as the original color. I would bet the color in the 69 paint book was right. This was about 10 years ago, nobody knew nothin' back then

Just saw a '68 Formula S 340 4-speed Barracuda 999 paint code car yesterday. Gorgeous color.
