Not to my knowledge.

Despite both yellow [714] and orange [720] being released at the same time, appears that orange was at least somewhat restricted at both plants due to Z11 production. The January 2, 1969, dealer ordering info only lists yellow.

The earliest known orange [coupe] at NOR was built April 18th: earliest yellow interior February 18th.

Only 3 VN coupes with orange interior, all built late June. Earliest yellow interior at VN built February 20. Possible that some VN orders were diverted to NOR due to the 52-day strike.

The info states they were also available with black paint. Seen both; there's a Fathom Green/yellow car from VN.

Thank You William. MY car is a 05A Van Nuys car. The CBC has a production date of 6/30. So, my car is one of the 3. I have seen one other and it's a SS396 turbo 400 car also a 05A car.

I see that car in the Van Nuys registry on facebook. It's a 05A car too about 500 cars prior to mine in serial number. There was another car over there that said it was a documented L78 car but not listed in the registry.

That car turned out to be a Norwood car.

That is a cool car. I wonder what the story is on the original owner and why he loaded it up so much.

I believe it was a dealer demo and the ordering manager just checked all the boxes.

Always liked the Hugger Orange/Orange Houndstooth interior along with Daytona Yellow/Yellow Houndstooth interior cars.

Love to see either one of those interiors with Black exterior paint also.
