during the musclecar era a number of overseas orders for cars were made by US servicemen anticipating their return to the US.
although coded Y09 (EXPORT) these cars were delivered NEW to a US dealership.
a recent thread on Dodge-Charger about a B7/C6D/V88 440 4-spd '69 R/T sparked my interest to compare the car to a T5/C6X/V1X/V88 440 4-spd Y09 R/T I had decades ago.
looking thru my data, I found a large percentage of these Y09 cars to be painted blue or green & ordered with 4-speeds:
I now know of 22 - Y09 EXPORT 1969 cars (most presumably ordered by US servicemen) 8-blue & 5-green 2 w/HEMI, 13 w/4-speed, 3 convertibles - an impressive list!
6 - Charger R/Ts, 4 are 4-speed (2 are HEMI) - one is blue/blue, one is blue/black & one is green/black (4 are stripe "DELETE" - V88) 2 - Charger 383s, 1 is 4-speed - one is blue/blue & one is blue/black 1 - Charger 318, auto, A/C, pdb - blue/white 4 - GTXs, 3 are 4-speed - one is green/green 2 - GTX 'verts, 1 is 4-speed - one is blue/blue 3 - Super Bees, 2 are 4-speed - 2 are green/green 1 - Road Runner 'vert, it is blue/blue 2 - Dart GTS 383s, 1 is 4-speed - 1 is blue/black 1 - Barracuda, 318 4-speed - it is green/tan
anyone care to add stories/known cars to the list?

My buddy has a 68 Formula S 383 with 4 speed coupe Barracuda, B5 Blue in and out. No B5 in 1968. What is the color code number in 1968 for Bright Brilliant Blue? I've seen a number of 1968 Dodge and Plymouth B bodys that color, it is very close to the 1969 and later B5 blue I had my 1971 Duster painted that color because I liked it more than the 1971 B5 color

for 1968 the paint codes were a single digita monotone paint style would be QQ1 (Q = roof paint, Q = body paint, 1 = monotone paint style) a two-tone paint style would be BQ2 (B = roof paint, Q = body paint, 2 = two-tone paint style) Q = " bright blue metallic" on a Dodge & " electric blue metallic" on a Plymouth IMO it has the "brightest" IMPACT of the "bright blues", PLYMOUTH got the name right!
