if you are going to build 7 'birds and Daytona's, you should get real familiar with this site. this link will take you to the table of contents.

Now, THAT'S funny. I just found that site yesterday while trying to research the whole paint color thing. It looked to be a really useful website.

This problem car got painted FK5; that's Burnt Orange Metallic. The car went as normal through the baking oven, had it's vinyl roof installed, and had quite a few of its mechanical parts installed. Someone caught the paint error on the line in the Trim Shop. The painters had read the fender tag incorrectly, or the Production Scheduling people coded its color incorrectly, or an "illegally-ordered" color slipped through from a dealer's order.
Interesting that this car was a mistake. That means there were no dealer ordered Superbirds other than the specific seven colors.
