Hello
I'm writing from Cali Colombia . after a lot of hassle with Colombian customs paperwork I finally have my 67 convertible here . I bought the car on Ebay from a seller in Delaware.
I'm getting started in the restoration process but need help figuring out the Data plate .
% 593
27 D7 7T03T227693
76A T 2A
-R
TOP-2
I need to find out the original exterior paint color code .
The exterior is a faded dark reddish color , I looked behind the back seat and inside the doors and the paint looks more burgundy than red to me .
Does that T on the plate stands for color ( candy apple red ) or for engine size ? , (it has a six cylinder engine )
And if the T stands for engine size , where is the color code for Vintage Burgundy ( X ) if that is the original color ??
Is there another place on the car that I can look for the color code ? , it only has this data plate and again the vin number stamped on the top of the left front fender apron , nothing else that I can see!
Any help would be appreciated , have a great day !

What you are looking at is the buck tag. The thing that kind of looks like % actually says c/o, which means customer order, as opposed to dealer order. The 593 is the rotation number, which means that your car was the 593rd car down the line that day. 27 is the welding bay in which your car was assembled, D7 is the build date (April 7th) 76A is a standard interior convertible, T is the color ( candyapple red) 2A is the interior ( black vinyl) Top-2 is a black top. The -R thing is some option, but, I have no idea what that is. Hope that helps.
