I posted a pic of this data tag about a month ago when I was looking at buying this car. Now that I actually own it, I would really like to find out as much as I can about this car. It is a 69 GS400 hardtop with factory a/c and factory 4-speed.

How can production numbers be broken down?
- 1 of 785 1969 GS400 hardtops with 4-speed
- how many 4-speeds from Kansas?
- how many 4-speeds with a/c?
- how many 4-speeds with special order paint?
- etc., etc.
vin # 446379K......

Of particular interest:

1) Paint Code: 0-0 (zero, dash, zero) Since I have not been able to find this code listed on any paint charts, I am going to assume that this indicates that the car was ordered with a non-standard color. Was there a defined set of 'special order' colors? If so, what were they? The original color of this car appears to be some kind of light blue. I've posted a pic of this from under the headliner.

2) option codes:
- 07911 ???
- AVO ???
- 119 ???

I have no idea what options these codes represent. For reference, here is a list of what the car has:
- pwr steering
- pwr drum brakes with aluminum front drums
- 4-speed Muncie M21
- a/c
- bucket seats
- sport wheel
- am/fm
- in-dash clock
- rally wheels
- floor mats

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

It could have been ordered with a Riv only color. There was an Azure Blue in 1969 and it was a Riv only color.

Here is the color chart:
