Special paint code 999 question

Post by BarryBum » Sun Mar 09, 2008 5:23 pm

I have spotted at 71 Satellite Sebring Plus that is currently blue, but you can see a color that seems to be Butterscotch in a few places. The owner told me it used to be Butterscotch but i have not yet laid my eyes on the paint code. If it is in fact a 999 paint code car, is 999 always Butterscotch or is the special paint code some other color? And if this is a 999 code Satellite Sebring Plus, it currently has a 383 in it. Did the Sebring Plus's even come with a big block option? And if all this is true, how rare would this car be?

ok, nevermind the 999 option code, I did a little research and found that Plymouths color was Bahama Yellow for Dodge's Butterscotch.........so that problem is solved. But my question still stands on the big block Sebring plus...............

Yes, you could get a 383 SSP, both L (2bbl) and N (4bbl) engine codes.
The special order codes were only used for butterscotch/bahama yellow in 1969. In 71 they had a paint code designate for it, EL5...pretty common.

Don't know about Demons being painted that color, but there have been a couple Demons with 666 in the VIN featured in MCG. Where's our "devil horns smiley"?
