Geez, that's right, they did have a lot more color selection back then, I didn't realize it had dropped off in 68, my 72 Mach1 had several "glow" colors to choose from, my mistake was picking "GoldGlow" (I think that was the name anyway) that was back before clearcoat, and damn was it hard to keep!!
