Here is a Word file I made once which contains the paint codes for 1964
interiors.  I took the information off the paint chip chart I mentioned
below.  It does not reference the single letter codes used on the body
plates, but we are generally able to translate those codes.  For
instance, we know that:

A=medium Aqua Poly. (12533)
B=Medium Blue Poly (12531)
E=Black (9248)
F=Fawn (but I'm not sure which one)
Q=Ivory (8259)

I am still looking for the rest of the letter codes

I have also attached my database (Excel file) of Corvair VINs, body Tags,
and options.  I am always looking to add to this file.  Of course, it
would be better to put it in a true database file, but that has to wait
until we get the SCG database up and running.

oops! I guess the paint chip is no longer there -- bad link.  I will have
to find it again and send to you.  Sorry!

Thanks.  I scanned an original 1964 paint chip chart and put it on the
web at:
http://members.home.net/whubbell/corvair/corvairpaint.htm

In any event, the general interior is mixed at 60% gloss, while the dash
is completely flat (0%)

Yes, there's the "E" I neglected to include.  I'd like to find that color
mixed somewhere as no shop seems to know the percentage of satin to mix.

There should be a single letter somewhere around the 943 - probably an
"E" - to signify the paint code (Black) for the interior.  The 712 refers
to the vinyl color of the interior (Black).  Do you see the letter?

Interesting.  My 1964 Monza convertible is a 09C car WR  1831  and 12278
and it DOES have the correct 1964 style vent in the trunk, so it appears
the change-over may have been the 2nd-3rd weeks of September!!!  I
imagine GM was just using up leftover parts.

Sure were a lot of cars made that week!!

Could you send me your complete Body Plate info?

That is an early number, Bill! My 64 convertible Spyder is WR 299 and
7285th; it was built in the second week of September (9B; 0911 on block
and diff) of 1963. The trunk also has the 63 style plates and vent covers
for the gasoline heater block-off like the one you saw, so those changes
occurred well into the model year.  The engine has no fan belt guides but
the generator has the fan guard. The other idiosyncrasy is that the
convertible heat vents on the floor are 62-63 style. My hood, of course,
has the slotted letters and a rusty trunk!  Need new trunk lid for my NOS
letters...
