I think there was a thread on these before?
(didn't do a search)

This is from RamAir John:

Quote:
PINK MIST was a Special Order Color offered on all Pontiac
models in 1968 along with..
Carnival Red, Windward Blue and Marigold Yellow.

These cars used "SPECIAL" or "SPEC" followed by 1, 2, 3 or
4 on the Fisher Body Trim Tag. Sometimes only dashes appeared for
special paint.
Carnival Red was "2" and I think Pink was "1".

There have been at least (3) '68 Firebirds that have
surfaced over the past few years. One has been documented as having been owned by Nancy Sinatra.
She replied to the current owner's request for info and explained that she bought (1) of the Pink Firebirds in
'68 after a few were made for her special TV show.

I have spoke with a few former Lordstown employees who
distinctly remember building the Sinatra Firebird as it was a big
deal at the plant (hey, back in '68 she was quite the rage with her boots &
stuff).
The one guy I know worked in the Paint Shop and claims
there were quite a few Pink Firebirds made that year. I asked: "More
than 20 ?" to which he replied "Yes, more than that".

Another rare color is Carnival Red (Judge Orange).
A '68 RAI Firebird in this color recently surfaced and sold for
quite a bit of money.

There was a Pink Mist '68 Firebird on EBAY a few weeks
ago. I believe it sold for $9,000 but I'm not certain on the final price.

Maybe he will see this thread and respond?
