I recently purchased a 1968 OHC Six car. Not a sprint. Pretty plain, even has a 3 OTT. Everything I decoded on the body tag matches what I see on the car... with the exception of the top. The car had one really crappy respray in 1994. The top is a different color than the bottom, I thought it was because it was originally a vinyl top car, but the "T" in the 2nd spot should be a number like 2 for black. But it's a T, which is Primavera Beige, but according to the decoder I found on this forum, it was never offered with April Gold and a two tone... sooo.... any clue why my paint code is "G-T"?
Thanks!
Edit: Please Excuse the Camaro Wheels, they're going bye bye when I have enough $ for the Rally II's I want. I believe they're actually original OEM GM wheels the PO put on the car and I already lost one of the Derby Caps

That's what I was thinking, but the car was repainted so who knows.
It does have the divider tabs, the trim is just off the car.
I have the build sheet, it calls out "T" under top as well. I can't imagine such a plain car was ordered with a specific and odd top color? I know google isn't the end all of things, but I wasn't able to come up with another car this color combo.
I also have the original purchase order from the dealership, they traded in a 1963 Chevrolet "4 door Sedan" - Gussing Impala or one of the variants along with the original Pontiac Warranty fold out.
Would the PHS documents confirm if the top was painted or vinyl? I've never ordered one before, so I don't know how specific they go on the info they provide?

Yes, I would say the PHS would confirm the two tone colors, as well as all the other information.
There were not very many two-tone cars built. Kind of a rarer option right there.

Cool. I printed out the PHS form. I guess I have to mail it. Old School. I guess I'll get an invoice window sticker while I'm at it, seems kinda cool to have a reproduction of that.
