Pretty sure that color was only painted in the Los Angles plant between Dec 68 and ending feb 7 69. only special order , than switching to K2 , just curious. Please correct me if i am wrong.
I don't think it was just a Cali thing and 99 code didn't necessarily meen Omaha Orange but any color that was not standard for the model. I've heard that number kicked around before too but don't know how accurate it could be, why would it be known how many 99 cars were produced when nobody knows how many of each of the standard colors were produced. All that being said, yes it is rare, nice car and welcome to the site from the Motor City!
