Yes they were available.  Like Geno stated they were a mid year option.  The earliest true coded car I have is 4/28/69, while the others are late June & July SPD's

Doinig a little more digging I found a few pics of the cars coded for these pins.  Looking at the pics you can see the factory location was a bit further out on the hood.  None of the pics I have show the mounting point under the hood though.  Sadly I do have a pic of the BS for the V2 car but its too small & unreadable.  This car was purchased off ebay back in '04 for about $6500....someone got a real nice deal on this fuly loaded car that was in really good unrestored shape.  So far the new owner has not registered it :(
Also both these cars were coded for the V21 Hood Performance Treatment as well....



Wow,, thanks Chris... Guess I didn't read that reply on this thread Geno submitted..........

7/11 ?  That's the second Friday of the month in July of 1969.. That would be the last day of "regular" production, no? I know there were probably some here and there that needed to get out of the assembly line that had been ordered, yet not built...........

Man you moved this to the section I don't look at.

The hood pins in those two cars look like they are in different locations from each other. The one car appears to be closer to the front of the car, where as the others appear to be a tad further back. Or it could just be the angles of the pictures too.

So no hood pins before jan 1? which is also the same day that headrest became standard instead of an option. Hmmmm, any correlation? I think not.

don't know where I could find the info on the broadcast sheet - any clues?

still waiting on the fender tag - as soon as I get it, I'll post it up and we'll see if the hood pins are the real deal...

Try looking on Line 8 under "J Miscellaneous Items".  A few boxes will automatically filled out
J11  Glove Box Lock
J15  Cigar Lighter
J21  Electric Clock
J31  Dual Horns

You're looking for Sales Code J45 - problem is, they did not have a pre-printed box for that particular option on the 1969 form (Hood Pins were a late model year option and they didn't produce new Broadcast Sheet forms just for that reason).  Personally, I don't know exactly where under that "J" heading the sales code would have been typed in, but it should be somewhere in those first 17 boxes.  I haven't seen a broadcast sheet with the hood pins coded. 

I believe you will find a number 5 in the box to the right of the J64 indicates hood pins
Seeking information on '69 St. Louis plant VINs, SPDs and VONs. Buld sheets and tag pictures appreciated. Over 3,000 on file thanks to people like you.
