![]() Hi there, I'm about to begin the restoration on my #'s matching LS6. I've been doing alot of research on this car and other LS6 cars to make sure the restoration is completed correctly the first time. Yet, I have one very important question that hasn't been answered to my satisfaction and thought maybe someone here can help out....Paint color! The car is numbers matching (less distributor) and sits in it's original paint that appears to be "Daytona Yellow" - very faded. I've removed the door panels and the paint again appears to be "Daytona Yellow"... I have the build sheet for this chevelle which confirms this car as a true LS6 chevelle with the "ZP3 Special Paint" option, plus a few more interesting things; On the build sheet in the box #44 "color" - hand written is "Special" and underlined. Below in the option listing area the option; D88 - Hood & Deck Str <-- this is crossed out. Below the option listing area - the large blank area: * Delete Stripes. (large star and hand written) BYPASS CODE 2: (factory type) SOLID COLOR 926 - 99568 - YELLOW (all hand written) This number (926 99568) matches the number on the trim tag (cowl tag) right before "PNT" as well as "-" (TR 753 926-99568 - PNT). I've seen on other cars ordered with special paint that have the "-" or "--" but never a eight digit code before it. Bottom line...I need to be correct in choice of paint color before I paint this car. Having spoke to others, some have mentioned the color to be "Daytona Yellow" or "Sunflower Yellow" (any real difference?). I've yet to see a good representation of these colors in any paint chip book. Could the eight digit code on the build sheet and trim tag help determine the true paint code...? Also, how rare is a LS6 car with a ZP3 special paint option....? Any help would be VERY helpful. |
