Tom M 51 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Hi, I just purchased a 1969 GTO. The color of the body I believe is the Verdoro Green Midnight Green but the trim tag reads PNT 52 B Wonder if some one here can verify that code for me? Thanks Edited December 4, 2019 by Packin31 (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
95Cardinal 946 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 52 was Matador Red Good reference for paint codes: http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?year=1969&manuf=GM&model=GTO If you want to know exactly how the car was originally equiiped, you can order a document package from Pontiac Historic Services (PHS). http://www.phs-online.com/ Great car!

Tom M 51 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Thanks for info and links. Will look into ordering the info packet from PHS. I had looked the car over when I got it to my nephews and seen no signs of red anywhere. The drivers door jam still has a service sticker with no traces of red around it. Wonder if the tag was changed at some point? Edited December 1, 2019 by Packin31 (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
95Cardinal 946 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Here's a good (old, but good) reference site for GTO information: http://ultimategto.com/cgi-bin/statsexplorer.cgi?year=1969&f1=style+popgto+clrpaint+dtmatrix+vinmatrix+dataplate+price LOTS of Pontiac & GTO knowledge here: https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/index.php http://www.wallaceracing.com/ https://www.gtoforum.com/ Your cowl data plate indicates: 24237 = 1969 GTO coupe 23044 = Body number (from Fisher Body plant) FR = Assembled at Framingham, MA 10D = 4th week of October build date (October, 1968) 258 = Black vinyl interior trim PNT 52 B = Matador Red body (52) with black vinyl top (B) Have fun! I've had several GTO's over the years; I really like those cars. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom M 51 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 95Cardinal, Thanks for breaking down the trim tag for me I really do appreciate it. Looks like some good winter reading for me from the links you posted. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

alsancle 4,760 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Buy the Emminger/PHS report. I think marti is doing it now. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom M 51 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Thanks gents, I did order the PHS report and received it a few weeks back. According to the report the GTO original color was the Matador Red, Black vinyl top with black interior. Can't wait until spring to get out to tune it up and drive it. Thanks for the additional info. I really appreciate it. 😎 Link to post Share on other sites
