Hi-
I have recently inherited my Dad's 67 Elky. It is currently painted Butternut yellow and has no real signs of either Bondo or rust. Everything seems original outside, and the 396/325 looks pretty well taken care of. The car shows around 77k miles on it, although I am not sure if it is 77k or 177k. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thanks very much for the reply. I just have two more questions. First, What do you mean when you say that B90 and C08 are paint codes? Does that mean that there is supposed to be some upper and lower differences in the paint? Or are those codes useful for matching?

Also, I did some looking and found a site that said that those codes had to do with the type of bench seat that was installed as well as a code (C08 I think) for a vinyl top. Is this wrong?

Thanks again for taking the time.

The info I have does not go into that kind of detail, maybe someone else here will have more info for you.
