I almost bought loaded carousel red 69 GTO convertible from the original owner when I was a teenager in the late 1980's. He told me the whole story how it was special ordered in the carousel red and everyone thought it was a Judge. Quite uniqe and real rare. If you look at the paint chips for 69 you will see it on there marked as special order.
On a related note a customer could actually order any GM color they wanted then as long as you paid the extra fee for it. I worked with a guy whose parents owned a large Buick dealer and his dad would always order a few Gran Sports, Riverias and Centurion convertibles in non Buick colors.
