Hi, the carousel red was a standard color, used 69. I've seen it on: 68/9 gtos & birds, would assume special early order. In 69 standard on judge, extra cost on bird. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img] <font color="yellow"> </font>

I never said it was not a Bird-only color. All I am saying is that dashes don't specify non-Pontiac color. Their meaning is more encompassing, having to do with 1) colors in the palette that was not offered on a respective car, like yellow on the GTO, 2) a color not available as an RPO, and 3) I know evidence that sometimes they used it for some RPO colors, but I don't know why.

Also, there are a whole bunch of Carousel Red GTOs out there. They were not Judges but standard GTOs.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] This is getting kind of confusing, here I thought I had a special car? with a special paint color? I know I've never seen another, espec. a raiv. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img] Yes, there were some GTO & birds both 68/9 in carousel red. Also in 76 they made TAs in that color again.

I think it has something to do with the new car order process or paperwork. The SS Chevelle in Monaco Orange or Daytona Yellow got the 72 or 76 code but a non SS Chevelle in same colors got the dash.

Exactly!

Don't let anybody kid you. You have a VERY special car, regardless of color.

Faded Golden Rod Yellow on '69 Fbird.It was listed on the bottom portion of the window sticker as special paint,or special order.

Goldenrod Yellow was an RPO for the Firebird in 1969. It is not a special-order color. Maybe optional, but not special.

HI, thank you, think it is quite special. The "special" paint(Daytona/Goldenrod/Saturn/Sebring) or whatever anyone wants to call it, makes it a unique car. The RAIV, & orig. cond. w/all options is nice too. Thanks again!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

HI, goldenrod yellow was on paint list for bird, avail. @ extra cost. It would have a paint code on dataplate. I'm just tring to fig. out what your thought is on mine. My data plate has 2 dashes, you say it is not special order? When I got my PHS, it does have an * for paint color.
Do you have any pontiacs>? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
