I decided to create a new thread on how to reduce the size of images and how to upload photos to the forum.  Are there other ways to accomplish this?  Yes and fill free to add to that thread with the same layout and step by step process for people to use to make the forum more user friendly.  Hope this helps

I agree with everyone else. That car is stunning in that color combo, and quite rare at that. I like vinyl tops, I had many car with them back in the day and my 68 Z28 still has it's original black vinyl on it today.

I'm in the leave the vinyl top on group. That's a great looking combo and probably not many made or remaining.

I assume the paint code on the trim tag is A-6. I only know of a couple 68's with that color combo.

Hi Kurt

Absolutely correct.  Paint code is A-6 and interior is 725.  The car also has a white vinyl top. 

I have reviewed Rich Fields' excellent research on the L30/M20 and think my car is in fact an L30.  My father bought this car in 1970 and has been in the family ever since.  This is a Canadian car and I am trying to track down more details, as GM Canada seems to have a more intact data base that I understand may be available from an enthusiast based company.

It has the following:

Numbers matching 327/275 hp and Saginaw M20
12 bolt differential (not sure if is posi or not but will check this out)
brake proportioning valve under driver's door
dual exhaust
multi-leaf rear spring
original spare is a Firestone Wide Oval

With interior 742? I imagine this is the only one. A-6 is odd enough let alone add the red interior.

On the Cowl Tag extreme left:   TR   725
On the right:   A6   Paint

On 67 Cars I think there is a Red interior code of 742 for custom buckets.
 
For 68 Cars I think there is different code of 725 for custom buckets. 

I am not sure if there is a difference between these red interiors for 67 and 68.   I defer to the experts on this one.

The interior of my car is certainly very red everywhere.
