I have most of this data plate decoded but I am having one problem, this was a SPS speacial order paint option car (I have not seen one of these ever) so I am having trouble finding out what color it is, any body have a clue??

Data plate as follows:

01C (3rd week of January) 546 ??
2426767 (GTO Convertible) balt (baltimore) 1078 Body
Tr 223 (Black interior) (no color number) 2 (I think black top since the 2 is by itself)

GL B1 92 ????

Like I said, it is a SPS special order paint car but how in the heck do you find out what the original color it was?

Thanks for your help

Hello Mike and welcome to the forum,

I suggest contacting Pontiac Historical Services and order the PHS packet for your car. This will include a build sheet and order history for your car, you can also order a copy of the window sticker that came with your car when it was new.

Good luck,

Thanks for the help but we have already done the PHS packet which tells you nothing about what color the car was or what color pallet the color would have been chosen from.

Thanks and any more in fo would be a big help

I would look in hard-to-get to areas like the inner cowl (under the fenders), under the sill plates, etc. Unless the entire car has been stripped/dipped/or blasted, you'll probably see the original color. As a plus, it won't be faded, either, due to it not being exposed to the elements. You could have it matched up from there. Time to get the screwdriver and the flashlight and go detecting!

That's strange, my phs packet includes 2 listings for my car's color, the billing history includes the color code, the build sheet list the 15 color choices and the original color for my car is highlighted.
