I've been tracking 1969 99 paint cars.

Beginning in October and through December, it appears there was a sizeable number of green and orange Road Runners built at the LA plant.

99 'Green' was not a 'spring only' release. Cars in that color are found in the fall of '68.

Given the small production at the LA plant, 99 paint Road Runners, as a percentage of cars produced, seems to run much higher than the Lynch Road or ST. Louis Plant.



"Spring Special" (or A14) is not point in time. It's an option on '69 Road Runners. Was a fairly rare option depending on hard top or post cars.
