ST 69 (1969 model)
12437 (coupe)
LOS182626 BDY (built at Los Angeles plant, 182626 is build sequence number)
TR 723 (midnight green standard vinyl interior)
59 S PNT (frost green paint, S = dark green vinyl top) frost green is light, like pea green.
12A (built 1st week December)
D359 (probably another line sequence number)
in other words, that car was one ugly color combo! Hopefully it is painted some other color by now
Here is the exact color combo, minus the white SS stripes:

thanks tony. from what i've found so far the D359 means it was made the 4th day of the week and was the 359th car to come off the assembly line. the car has the oringinal paint and interior...but not for long

Frost green didn't look bad IMHO, but what do I know, I'm biased....Derek
