Gene, you think that most of the shifter knobs on AT's were the chrome one? I know that since I started looked closely at old photo's, and unrestored cars it sure seems that a lot of them had them. Its probably around 50% or so.

I certainly don't know the percentages, but I would imagine the % of chrome knobs on '69 cars to be fairly high.  With a lot of these kind of parts transition issues, you'd expect there to be a break point where cars before "X" date had chrome, and most cars after that had woodgrain.  The weird part about the shifter knobs is that both early and late cars had chrome.   :shruggy:  In fact, most (if not all) of the original/unrestored auto Daytonas that I have seen had the chrome knob.  I'd be hard-pressed to name one off the top of my head that had the woodgrain knob. 

That doesn't mean that NO '69s or Daytonas came with woodgrain knobs when new, but the majority seem to have the chromies.

I have a question. Did any Daytona's come in yellow? If so, which yellow?

Any Yellow available in 1969 on a Charger.  That would include Y2 Yellow, Y3 Cream and Y4 Gold Metallic.  Y2 is by far the most common of the yellow colors anyway.

And of the odd color choices for a HEMI Daytona Y2 Yellow seemed very popular.

Is there one built in every color available?

Are you asking for a Daytona period? Or a HEMI Daytona in every color? I don't know of any HEMI Daytona's in A4, B3, F3, T7, Q5, R6, or Y4.

As far as any color is concerened I think that there is pretty much at least 1 Daytona that was painted in every color that was available. I can't think of any colors that weren't done on at least 1 Daytona. And that includes the 99 99 paint code. Although I still can't think of any T3 Daytona's that I've seen personally.

T3 is which color again?

I had always thought that car in the photo was T5 bronze Bryan. I can't find any Daytona pics of T3 currently. Heck I can only find one car that is T3 in my pics and its a 500.
