Daytona Yellow

Monaco Orange and Daytona Yellow were special order additional cost colors for the Chevelle in 69 and only available with the SS according to GM literature. Most of the Monaco Orange and Daytona Yellow SS cars that I have seen have the paint number code on the trim tag. I assume your car does not have a vinyl top and that is why it would have two dashes for upper and lower body. A vinyl top car could have one dash and a "B" for black vinyl top.
From what I understand, in 69 almost any car could have been ordered with almost any color using the COPO system. I have heard of Chevelles with the dash on the tag that came Carolina Blue to NC dealers and other dealers ordered the Pontiac color Verdoro Green. I believe the way it worked was a dealer could request a special color through the COPO process and this car would get the dash and no paint code number then would have special COPO paperwork to instruct the paint dept. So a Chevelle with a dash tag could be a "COPO" Chevelle but not a 427 COPO. I guess that since the 427 COPO Chevelle was not an SS it also needed the COPO paperwork to get the special paint. (I am making an assumption here.) This would mean that a Monaco Orange or Daytona Yellow COPO Chevelle would be a double COPO and a Monaco Orange or Daytona Yellow Yenko Chevelle would be a triple COPO because of the 427, the special paint, and the additional 9737 Sportscar package to get the 15 inch wheels, suspension, etc.
