When I bought the car I thought it was brown. After starting the restoration I see this reddish/coppery met color under the decklid and in the doorjambs. I was painting it black and gold but now I'm thinking about this original color and gold on bottom(striped like a 78-79 442)! What is this color called? Here's a pic of under the decklid and the trim tag. What do you guys think of the red/gold idea?

 

I think it is a good color and would definitely make your job easier. Gold over red would be nice.

 

I think gold and red would look great! You would just have to toy with the shades of gold and red until you found what you liked.

 

I think that in his case the "67 67U" means that it was the same color top as body.

 

Exactly, my car is 15 15U. It's solid Medium Met. Gray.
Oh, and definatly redo the car in that color.
