paint codes

[bpcamaro]

can anyone tell me what color a 67 camaro with a paint code of 0-0 would be ?

[Kurt S]

It's a special order paint code. Could be anything from a Vette color to Tangier orange. I may be able to help if you post the data on the car.
Any original paint in the doorjambs?

[Stefano]

It seems that most of the time,even on restored cars I can determine the original color by looking in the trunk by the hinge mounts.

[bpcamaro]

the car has been painted several times the painter that painted it last worked at the chevy dealer he thought it was hugger orange.I scratched off some of the paint by the hinges and the bottom color seems to be orange. The vin is 124377L159806 how can I find out more about this car.

I think I pegged it before. Sounds like Tangier orange. A couple of dealers in CA ordered this color in 67.

Could you post your trim tag info too? I may be able to help more.

[bpcamaro]

I have been told this car was sold at central chev in freemont california I have no proof if such a place even exists. The tag looks like this . 06A / ST 67-12437 LOS-35961/ TR760-Z / 42L 3SL / 4K L244D -

Central Chevrolet in Fremont still exists. We actually had a car club meeting there a couple of years ago.
Here is a web link:

Yup, that would be the dealer. They sold a few cars this color, at least one other L78 and a L35 (still original paint).
I'd be interested in a pic of the trim tag if you can. Else I have a few questions:
42L - the 4 has to be a letter.
Is the - before or after the L244D?
Is there a 4 digit code on the same line as the date code?

Nicely optioned!
Any documentation?
Original drivetrain? That air cleaner and valve cover is real hard to find.

Kurt S
Thanks!

[bpcamaro]

Thanks kurt you really know your cars here are the answers to those questions.
the 4 is a W
the - is not on the tag I was trying to get all the letters to line up just as they appear on the tag and the computer wouldnt let me get off that line whithout putting somthing in that spot, turned out it all went on one line anyway.
there is a C84 code in the upper right hand corner.I took two trips to storage and 10 pictures with the digital camera none of them turned out there is some black paint on the tag and there is no light.

I have no documentation I want to try and find the origial owner and maybe get some pictures so I can start restoring the car.
It has a 427 in it I need to figure out if that is how it came or where and when it was switched I will take any sugestions.

We had a 68 RS Z28 a while back that had -- code and was this color. It appeared to be original paint on the car. I will post a pic if I can find one.

This one also had a body color rally wheel for the spare in the trunk. It had torque thrust style wheels on it when we got it.

This picture shows the car right after we put rallys back on it. When we sold the car I think we put the mags back on it though. I came across the second picture when I was looking for a picture of the Z, I thought I'd toss it on. Sorry about the poor quality. I don't have a scanner so I to take a picture of a picture.

I recently sold a 1968 RS-Z/28 which left the factory Rally Green, But was wearing
Hugger Orange Paint in the late 70's and Early 1980's. It had 'Itchie Brothers Racing'
lettered on the rear spoiler and was raced in the Madison Wisconsin region during that time.
The Z/28 was repainted a Burgundy Red with silver ghost flames in the mid 1980's and is now a bright Red with white Z- stripes.
No pictures or docs, other than title search and info. from previous owners.
Do any midwest Drag or Roadracers remember this Z/28?

[Kurt S]

Jason,
That must have been 8L339845. Everything fits the description I have of it.
Thanks!

Thanks on the work order code (doesn't decode) and the W code.
I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't a - somewhere after the 4K code. Most special paint cars have it.

The other 2 orange cars left with their original engines, I suspect this one did too.

If you ever do get a pic of the tag, I'd still be interested. Or if you find the trans or axle codes. http://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

Jason,
Do you have any other info on that Z? I know of 2 cars that are similar.
One had a body colored rally wheel. Anyone seen that before?

[bpcamaro]

HELP! http://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/crazy.gif

Try someone in their accounting department and ask about their "dead files" potentially in offsite storage. Maybe you'll get lucky. I too have found that salesmen aren't often much help. Good luck.
