Well, YEARS ago, I found a source for these dust pans and had a powder coater fluff up a few for Friends to Match their Cars.
Gift Idea for your Group of Muscle car Boyz & Girls:

Decodes as.
Maroon: Ole's 69' Chevelle SS396
Red- White: Glens 68' AMX
Red-Black: My 68' SSRS396
White: Terrys 66' Vette (Difficult to see in reference photo)
Green: Patty's 69' SS396
White-Red: Jasons 68 SS396
Orange: My 69' INDY Pacer
Yellow: Johns 67' SSRS396

You Can Source the Dust Pans from McMaster Carr or U-line ( H-2276 ) must be steel or alum for oven flow coating of powder or Hey Paints world work.

I thought this would be a Nice Share for the Group.
These can be Garage warming gifts, Project Reveals party, Garage man cave warming, etc,
I Love seeing them displayed in owners garage next to the sweet ride each is keyed to.

Seeing that '67 SS/RS reminds me of a friend of mine that had an L78 version in that configuration back in the '80s. It was his dad's car and got sold in the late '80s. Always wondered where it ended up.

^ Yup that Is John's "4K" Off the road since 1982, Hidden as 'Life' gets in the Way, He painted it Ditzler Laq in 1983/84.
Hoping it is back working this year.
Just a 500 dollar car in the Auto Trader in July 1982 Portland Ore.

Was online few weeks ago and saw someone who sells coolers painted to match your ride.Correct paint colors,stripes and the correct emblems painted on.Would look real cool next to your car at a show!
