No way of telling how many were painted this color as its a special paint order car.  Color is most likely either code 516 Orange (probably) or code 519 Dark Yellow, both regular production 67 Chevrolet paint colrs, just not available for Camaros without being a special order.

It appears to be Orange, and it appears to be the original factory color...

He's talking about a 67 here,  O is a special order color.  Corvette Bronze was a 68 color.  But you're correct paint code O was Corvette Bronze in 68.

"O" in 67 is technically "special paint instructions"  could be a non standard stripe configuration, a show paint finish on a standard color, or a special order paint color, usually limited to s standard GM paint color that was available in the same model year on another body style.

I'll modify Mark's last statement. It wasn't limited to GM colors, but those were the easiest to spec out. Could be any color.
There's several oranges that were commonly used, mostly on LOS cars. Tangier orange is one that comes to mind. You'll have to have it scanned to get it color matched.

Do you know the selling dealer? What's the VIN?

What is the dash under the 760 for I think this car also had orange interior .

Not when the interior color is clearly called out. Special paint was easy. Special interior was not.

The dash is a notation for "see special order instructions".

Why is it under the interior code ?

Post by: 69Z28-RS on December 30, 2014, 10:03:55 PM
are you talking about the same car?  The Interior Code is    760-Z   (which is black strato bucket seats std, w/o headrests)...

Post by: KurtS on December 31, 2014, 01:46:13 AM
Because it's in the accessory code area.

Gary,
There's a dash under the 760-Z if you look closely.

Kurt.  Thanks...  I didn't even look at any area other than the interior..  I thought he called it the 'interior code'...?
