Interesting.. To Joe's point, 67 interior paint was not tied to exterior color - the 4 options were Fawn, Red, Blue and Green. The Special Paint annotation would apply to the exterior paint applied only anyway - and since 521 White and 526 Off White were both options, a Special Paint callout would mean that your original paint was neither of them. Sooo... there's either been a repaint along the way somewhere (any indications?) or your original paint was a non-521 or 526 code of GM white. Perhaps Ermine or Provincial white?? I'm always fascinated by Special Paint codes... still searching for the magic decoder ring that must be floating around somewhere in a GM basement. Have any original sales paperwork that might have an indication? I don't believe the build sheet or firewall will help in this instance.
