1969 340-s engine block color.

I have heard that in 69 there were 3 different colors...turquoise, red and orange...aparently depending on the build date??

I wouldn't doubt that, it seems that when the color changes occured many of the new model year were wearing last years colors. I think Chrysler probably used up the rest of the old paint or installed engines that were already painted with the previous model year's color.
