68 or 69?
As I understand it Omaha was discontinued early in the 69 run, so fairly rare even when new.

Mopar didn't keep track of how many of a certain color, only percentages. That info is available somewhere, I just don't know where.
I have percentages of known examples of A12 cars.... but that won't help, Omaha was discontinued long before the A12s came out.
Maybe try Chysler Historical? A search here should tell you how to get in touch....

This article has a chart on the percentages that sell of the different colors.

Would the 'Omaha Orange' be a *999 code color ?

not sure the rarity of it
adds much if any value over a Vitamin C Orange K2

Yep, the limited edition or special order colors were designated 9x. KAPSBIRD's 99 99 shows a special color (actually could be the special orange or green) ,and the roof and body the same.
My Bahama yellow (butterscotch on a Dodge) 69 shows 96 96, contrary to Budnicks chart.
There is a video on you tube of all 24 1969 roadrunner colors on actual cars. I think the info board for each car/color shows the fender tag code.
Edit: just watched the video again..... Omaha was 99, Rally green could be 97, 97E, or 99, Bahama 96, 96E, or 99. Maybe the code used depended on which assy plant.....?

No. There is absolutely no way to know that number.

Colors were not tracked for MY 1969.

Vitamin C was introduced, virtually replacing Omaha Orange, in March of 1969. The Omaha Orange cars seems to skew heavily toward the fall of 1968.

Did you ever get your clutch linkage straightened out?

Interesting note on the bottom of that bulletin. I remember seeing a question on the A-body side, whether the 440 Cuda's/Darts could come with 3.91s. Guess that put that discussion to bed.....

A guy in the area that I have known for a long time has a 1968 SuperBee that is Omaha Orange with a flat black hood. He is the original owner and says it was that colour when he bought it new at McManus Motors in nearby London, Ontario. This is the same dealership that sold my 1964 Polara new. I bought a new 1969 SuperBee, so know quite a lot about these cars. I have always thought his story sounded strange, so I will try to get a look at his build tag.
