Paint Code
Hello, I have a 68 427 Biscayne and it has no paint code. I was wondering if anybody could offer any suggestions on what this might mean. My paint code on my cowl tag is just 3 dashes - "---". I have included a link to a pic of the tag. I was also told that the car originally came from Dana Chevrolet in LA, but I have no proof of that. I do not have the build sheet either. Thanks for any comments. Biscayne Cowl Tag

Re: Paint Code
Special paint code. Means the car was ordered in a color other then what was standard for the car and year.
What color is the car? It's nice to see things like this. Rick H.

Re: Paint Code
Cool...and three dashes not two!.
Is it an L72 car or L36...and a stick?. How hard have you searched for a build sheet?. Pics?!. ~ Pete

Re: Paint Code
You guys wanted pics? Here they are!!
http://webpages.charter.net/josiebosie/chevy/ I was told by the original owner that it was an L72 4-speed, but I have no build sheet to prove it. It also has the Bendix four piston disk brakes up front along with the F41 supension with a 4.56 rear end... As for the build sheet, I have looked under the carpet, the seats have been reupholstered and they did not find the built sheet then. The gas tank is not orginal either. So I am at a loss on how to authticate the car. It's not that big a deal since I bought the car to enjoy. It would be nice to know so I could return the car to exactly what it was when it left the factory. Thanks for the comments! Rob M.
