Anyone know the paint codes?

Tag shows: L 13 M

Here is it's current incarnation...

According to McMark's Color page...

Your saturn yellow
Eric

If your car is a 72/73... Saturn Yellow.

If your car is a 74... Chrome Yellow.

The color currently on the car is not the original paint, but it looks like it could be the original color. Does the color in the pic and the paint look like they jive?

Yeah, it's a 72

There were a couple of name changes with colors. Sunflower Yellow and Summer Yellow share the same color code.

Sounds like a marketing thing. I bet Saturn Yellow was cool right after the race to the moon (1969) but then Chrome Yellow just sounded cooler.

Chrome Yellow & Saturn Yellow are the same. They just called them different names in the color run 1972 through 1974.

This color is very difficult to photograpy. Sometimes it apprears yellow, than with a tint of green. Of course it has a lot of green in it.

Another shot of a 1972 color chart.

People call our cars ugly... well look at those featureless 911s.

A 911 paint chip is UGLY. Thank God for windows, tires, trim, and bumpers!

the color code for my car is L13K...what shade of yellow would that be?

L13K is Summer Yellow. Its also the code for Sunflower Yellow. For some reason it was changed to "Sunflower" in 1976.

Coincidentally fast - I was doing some research today in order to touch up a few chips acquired during some WCC05 "spirited driving".
