Deviations from Normal Codes on a 1969 Body Tag

Short answer: 1969 body-tag color coding is notoriously confusing — it varied by plant and even by shift, since these were built “BC” (before computers). Two expert readings of that “G”: it may be the Antique Gold convertible-top color (an “Upper Color” on the 1969 order form), paired with Verdoro Green paint; or, converting GM corporate codes to Pontiac codes, “73” = Verdoro Green and the following “G” = Dark Green. The trim code (206) is standard green vinyl.

Bottom line: 1969 tags really only tell you body style, color, and trim — and even those have plant-to-plant deviations. As the experts put it, 1969 is the hardest year of the three to decode.
