Just to be clear that 69's (to my knowledge) are the only ones that have known codes on the bulkhead..  67 & 8's had the occasional marking but I do not know the relevance or meanings behind them..

How about 'b' for butternut?
This reply may have to be moved and start a new topic.  Is butternut yellow really that bad???. I guess it is true about"beauty in the eyes of the beholder".  Goes to show not everybody loves that color.I for one, do not. But, a nicely trimmed Camaro with this color can look nice. But lets see some comments on this. When I was younger and Chevrolet came out with the " Ocher" color on the 71-71 pickups, I could not stand that color, looked like an old batch of mustard on a corn dog under the bleachers. But today when seeing a nice optioned upper/lower trimmed white on ocher, they kinda leave a little mark on me. So whats the folks say?
I'd rather have a 6 cylinder Camaro then a butternut yellow one!  :D

Maxfair Maize , butternut yellow,
Ochre  my dad's 71 C10 was that color.  71-72 used the same color called it different names.


I'd take Ochre over Butternut yellow any day...

Here are the pic's again, as they probably got erased during the website reset. I would have thought by now SOMEONE has to know what this means. Gotta be ton's of research examples, right? .. Danny

No there are not that many examples of this for 68s.

What is the build date of the body?
Bryon / 1968 Camaro SS 396 coupe - now old school 468 big block
1967 Camaro RS/SS 396 coupe L35/M40 - 4 generation family project

ok, now that I see yours, I can almost see the "3" on mine. Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is it the "power of suggestion" from seeing yours?

Note the Murphy's law effect: Of the two characters, the one you really need to see is the "3". So guess which one is clear: the "X". The "3" is the one that's faded/hard to see.

The chart should have interior trim paint color as well... as that is what the first letter represents.  B for Blue R for Red DG for Dark Green
