Title: Color Combination
Post by: rs1967ss on July 16, 2011, 06:33:53 PM

I have a 67 rs/ss paint code F-2 (marina blue w/ black bumblebee) and a 797 interior code( deluxe parchment). I have never seen this color combo before. Any comments would be MUCH appreciated

Does your car have any remnants of the original paint/ stripe?
The Hawaiian Ralley Green DANA 68 RS/SS 350 car had Black Roof with White SS Stripe if memory serves...

Yes, after getting thru the ugly maroon repaint there was a dark green metallic, under that was the original marina blue and a black bumblebee. The vinyl top had been removed, but under the trim(which was left thank goodness) was the remains of the black vinyl that had been left underneath. Factory a/c was gone and the hole in the firewall had been covered with sheetmetal and riveted. I've drawn it out, and the blue/black/white combo looks stunning. Would something like this more than likely been special order?

Not a very common color combo. A buddy of mine also owns a 67 RS/SS the same colors!

Who knows how it was ordered. The dealership may have ordered it for the showroom or a customer may have ordered it.

Wow, thanks guys. I'm sticking w/ the info on the tag, its sure to be done someday! Also, this may be for a different forum, bur underneath " dd" on the vin, there's a "037". Can I take this as "delivery date march 1967"? Cowl tag is 02B

The car hasn't been on the road for a while now. I'll have to ask if he has a pic - it does have a 765 black interior in it now.
