Hello Everyone, I am new to the group and wasn't sure where to pose this question, so I thought this might be the best place. I just purchased the 69 convertible and have been doing as much research as I can on this car. It is need of a lot of help but does run, drive, stop, etc., but I got a pretty good deal on it. The paint code on the body tag shows SPECIAL -A.
I am unable to find anything on this paint code anywhere. Looking at the car I can see areas where there is pink overspray (i.e. inner door frame, trunk hinge brackets, etc.). I have been searching for answers but have not been able to come up with anything. I know Mary Kay did pink cars but have not found anything other than Cadillacs. I have also heard Nancy Sinatra was fond of pink Firebirds. Fleer gum was also supposedly giving away pink Firebirds as a grand prize. The last thing that I found was the Playboy pink cars, but no information on Firebirds there either.
Any information that I can get would be greatly appreciated. I was told that the car was in Alaska and then Florida, which would explain a lot of the rust, but don't have any other information that that.
