No...Plymouth only color in '69. You could get a Daytona in V2-Hemi orange.

Larry,
That is my car and it does have metalic in it.That is Sherwin-Williams base/clear.Done back in 1992.Only thing availiable in K2 at that time.Has held up very well.

Do you have any more pictures taken from different angles and maybe in various sun angles ? There was a daytona posted on page 15 a while back and the color was vit-c #2201 . The picture was taken inside under bright lights and it looks awesome !

Hey Dave what 500 did you see in EK2? I haven't seen any in that color.

Tim Wellborn owns a Daytona in the special order code 999 orange color from Dave's paint chart.  I don't think the restoration is done yet, so no pics.  That is the only one we know of right now.

That '69 special-order orange (999) isn't considered Vitamin C though, is it? 

From what I have seen on the charts, the closest color to the '69 999 Orange is what they used to put on Dodge Trucks from back in the early/mid '60s, which they called Omaha Orange.  Chevy had about the same color under the same name for a number of years too.  Isn't it the same color they used on the Bengal Chargers??  It definitely isn't Hemi Orange, and I didn't think it was Go Mango (Vitamin C).

That has got to be one very rare Daytona, for sure.

I agree.    I don't know that code 999 is the same as Vitramin C.    I don't remember all the details, but Tim stumbled onto that orange Daytona locally.   The car found him.    He really has some cool stuff.

I think Danny (69_500) has seen that car, and it's a 999 (or 99)  paint code.  Again, that is not Vitamin C (or Go Mango), despite what is printed in the article.  Awesome looking car - thanks for digging up and posting the pictures, Dave.

That same article says that the window plug was fiberglass.. 

[nascarxx29]

According to the article the Glenn lived  in Lansing Mi. a friend told him about seeing the car at Chrysler proving grounds in Chelsea. It was built for  but never delivered to a Nascar racer.

[nascarxx29]

I wasnt sure if Danny had this 1 or not .I had seen his 500 article in the newsletter.A nice piece of work as the 500s are harder to account for.I have vins for some Ive seen and known from Northern& Southern NJ a few are sitting now as we speak .Some came from junkyards.And private owners 1 is a red car a friend painted.Its a hemi and is in in Don Garlits museum .Another friend had about 50 69 chargers had a few 500-s .

Do you have the full information on the 500 from the article? I saw the car years ago, and just remember that it was a 999 paint code. However I don't have the fender tag info now, I have either lost it is misplaced it over the years. That and I don't even know the full VIN to the car so it isn't included in the number of 231 cars that I know of. Also which magazine is the print out of the color breakdown from? Do you know? I have a break down from a magazine like that about the Daytona's but hadn't seen one for 500's.
