Rare LS6 - restoration to begin - question...?

[Mr70]

Why I believe you have a special order Daytona Yellow Code 76 Paint on your Chevelle:
*ZP3 appears on ALL special Paint Cars.
*Januaury is too early to be Sunflower Yellow.I have documents stating it was not available until Spring 1970.I.E. April/May 1970.
*Box #60 is blank on some of these cars buildsheets.Some show the word "Paint"typed in,or hand written.
* 926 appears on all my ZP3 special paint buildsheets as well.Be it Monacco Orange,or a buick Gold paint on a Chevy.Those digits after the three digit code seem to be the call out for that specific color.After reading what has been said here,I am guessing that is a COPO color code of sorts,or Chevrolets in house coding.

I agree this may be a Daytona yellow car, but could be code 51 for 70. 76 and 51 might be the same, but should check the mix formula as one may be brighter than the other. This is true of code 75 cranberry red. 70 has black tint, 71, same name and number has white. I'm guessing this was inhouse special order vs COPO as COPO as I understand it was usually more than one unless he owned a cab company and had it painted with the order. I guess we may never know for sure, but having it checked with the spectrum machine should tell you what it is, or close to it. My son did find some interesting info on dates of color availability as in spring of 70. I will ask Rob to post an attachment. Note the last three colors added to the 70 Novas. These were the 10 each Yenko deuce colors. Ken S.
