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.

daytonalo · October 17, 2006, 10:16:05 PM

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 !

69_500 · October 18, 2006, 08:25:49 AM

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.

daytonalo · October 18, 2006, 09:55:21 AM

There is a post on page 15 under a color has been picked and that color is smokin under lights !

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.

BigBlockSam · October 18, 2006, 10:37:43 AM

yea, thats the color i'm painting mine.

nascarxx29 · October 18, 2006, 03:31:55 PM

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 · October 18, 2006, 04:48:50 PM

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 · October 18, 2006, 05:43:22 PM

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 .

nascarxx29 · October 18, 2006, 07:31:29 PM

daytonalo · October 18, 2006, 10:32:08 PM

Done deal , that is the color . Larry [ hot rod ] the sikkens cross over for vit-c k-2 orange , my painter looked it up today and he said they're calling for a three stage . Does that sound right to you ?

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.

nascarxx29 · October 19, 2006, 06:37:12 PM

I will get out that box and find the magazine year and title for the 500 paint and decal and EK2 69 hemi 500 story and .I still have old magazines called Street Machine.It had J Radkes car Hemi daytona 440 daytonas .Pete Haldimans your Dads 500.I found your Dads 500 in automotive quartely.You did a nice job in the 500 newsletter article .Anything I have saved.I can share with you to help your research

daytonalo · October 22, 2006, 12:56:59 AM

I just received a spray out of K-2 , too muddy looking . I give up , cant decide will just leave it in primer .

dads_69 · October 22, 2006, 01:20:57 AM

I spray PPG. If you mean they are calling for the paint to be done in 3 stage or Tri-coat. That just doesn't sound correct. I spray almost all brands of paint once in a while, and never heard of an Orange, unless HOK being a three stage. Then you get into a pearl coat style. A hole dif' ball game then. Hope this helps somewhat.
Mark

daytonalo · October 22, 2006, 01:41:13 AM

I agree , and spoke to a sikkens rep and gave me a crossover for 2 step . will spray out next week . My favorite color of all time is HOC sunset orange 3 stage , but for some reason holding back on going with that color .

Larry, If you're not in a big hurry, I'll get my wife to create you a clean version of vitamin c. It will be PPG of course. Back when we owned a paint store, everyone came to my wife to create their colors. We have both basecoat and single stage mixing systems so it's not all that difficult to create new formulas.
We'll be back from the SEMA show on the 6th. Just let me know if you're interested.

daytonalo · October 22, 2006, 10:40:25 AM

Thank you , I'm not sure what to do .

Larry, have you seen the Mopar MuscleCar issue from August 2005 w/the orange Daytona on the cover? I have the magazine myself. Looks pretty cool w/a black tail and guts. Just wanted to let you know.

I spoke to Tim today. The 99 code orange Daytona is done. He says the paint Roger Gibson matched up was identical to race Hemi Orange. That's the engine color, not the V2 paint code. Tim confirmed that there is no metallic in it either as we suspected.

daytonalo · November 03, 2006, 07:08:21 PM

Thanks for the info , I made a final decision after viewing the vit -c in person , I will use HOUSE OF COLORS SUNSET ORANGE, three stage. I personally think VIT-C a little to muddy looking , my hunk of shit is a recreation not an orig car , therefore it is a matter of personal preference .Thanks for the photos and input ! Larry

69_500 · November 04, 2006, 05:42:05 PM

Doug is there only 1 999 paint code Daytona? I thought there was 2?

Aero426 · November 06, 2006, 10:06:49 AM

Sure, there could be more out there...

1968 Charger B5 · November 06, 2006, 11:46:19 AM

That's such a nice color

daytonalo · November 06, 2006, 01:28:39 PM

Which color do you like ?

69_500 · November 06, 2006, 06:45:07 PM

You say could be more out there making it sound like there is more out there that people know of.

Or did I read that the wrong way?

I had always thought there was 2 999 paint code Daytona's, but I had only heard of 1 999 paint code 500.

Off topic here, but Doug did you get the email I sent to you?

Bob T · May 07, 2011, 07:14:06 PM

So then, if there is a special order paint code 999 for a 68 Charger in Omaha Orange, would it be that same as Vit C / or the 69 truck colour??
Just trying to visualise it from here on a Charger , and wondering if it is completely different to the deeper colour that is more common on the 69 GL type of colour.

This is the Aussie Valiant Charger /Pacer Vitamin C, and the last pic is a scan of a photo of a 68 at a car show here 11 years ago - possibly in Omaha Orange , too long ago to remember what it looked like against the aussie Vit C ,
opinions please gents.
