Thanks! I've been looking for that.

I know the '80 was WN - Aurora White. I wanted to find out what color the '85 was TECHNICALLY. Saying "matte metallic silver" just don't cut it Now I know that it's Sunbeam Silver (K3).

I have a buddy who runs a paint shop, he was only ONLY guy who could get the original paint color for my '72 - it was code 4Q (Jade Green Metallic) which was not technically available for that car - it was a special option. He does good work and I'd trust him to do the repaint, someday.

Sheesh I still know what the VIN was on the '80.

Mine ended up being E6. Further stoking my curiosity about whether or not I have a true Limited or a certain someone who owned it before me had a good imagination.

Does it say E6 on the firewall plate?

79rex

Why, yes it does.

Damn nasty V3, tender blue

Im sorry, I have to correct myself. The code is on the under side of the hood. Big factory looking sticker that just says Paint Code E6. Is there something significant about that?

SO it is aftermarket color, cuz it says that mine should be starburst silver (or something) but it's dark green.

sigh... this will make touch-upping hard.

cheers'

Well there you go. I always thought mine was Aurora white but it's actually Formula white. Sweet.

I've got V3, but mine doesn't look so tender-like. It's more of a grayish color.
