I believe they were. Special paint cars were ordered in three groups of 53 cars each. All the odd colors are in the first batch.

This was actually a key to finding out which cars were yellow

Not 1968 Shelby wheels 😫

He says "I am no expert" and thinks cars are worth $400,000

Also says "I was told (Shelby wheels) have no date codes"

Ah, no

Heres a chart I did about 20 years ago. One car is still not identified.

There were 159 special paint cars. 15 cars were painted colors other than yellow.

Only 14 of those colors are known and documented. Until the information on the last car is available you cant make definitive statements...

There are nine orange cars, possible ten, painted three different shades.

There are four known cars painted WT5107. (There could potentially be five)

3397 is actually the only known four speed in that shade.

Unfortunately a lot of misinformation on these cars. Some being repeated by the ignorant in-this thread

It would not be on the build sheet. The build sheet and information on the Marti reports pertains to the car as built by Ford.

There were a few cases when cars received the incorrect colored stripes when being built. It would be pretty rare and you would need to document the car has never been resprayed or restriped.

Each color was assigned a specific colored stripe

A picture of the stripes is going to say a lot. Shoot pics of the rear quarters and door jambs
