Hmmm this looks suspicious

What a scam.

It would have FM3 on the fender tag in 1970, not 999.
I guess the body colour code -- when a special order colour was specified -- was subjective in its application ; I've personally seen : 97 , 98 , 99 and 999 colour codes , but have not seen an actual "FM3" ( Panther Pink / Moulon Rouge ) nor have I seen a "TB3" ( Corporate / Petty Blue ) prior to the 1972 model year , when its name was reassigned .

I'm definitely not trying to rail road this topic , nor am I trying to cause an argument , so please don't take offense to my info . I'm NOT saying you're right or wrong either :-D .
