color combinations ??
Does anyone know if it is published anywhere the no. of each paint code and interior code that were built?
I am starting to restore a white on red 63 vert and don't recall seeing very many in that combination over the years.
Thanks Jeff

I checked a couple of sources, but couldn't find the info you want (I also looked at the C2 registry without any luck). Here is a link that has some other good info - it was posted on the forum a couple of days ago.

Ah, why not, I'm just surfing about aimlessly.
Yep, the red trim on white was a perfectly viable option.
For 1963 Convertible.
White: Ermine White: code 936
Convertible red ECL codes:
to 22nd Feb 63
D (base cars)
M (with U69 AMFM radio from 26th Nov 62 on)
R (with C60 aircon from 7th Feb on)
from 22nd Feb to end of '63 production.
R (base cars - possibly dropped 22nd Feb, or 26th April)
XB (with C60)
XD (with C60 and U69)
It is possible the R code was dropped earlier, it is difficult to tell from Adams.
Hope this helped.

And just for completeness sake, I think this is what was really desired:
900 - Tuxedo Black -Black, Red or Saddle
912 - Silver Blue - Black or Blue
916 - Daytona Blue - Black, Red, Blue or Saddle
923 - Riverside Red - Black or Red
932 - Saddle Tan - Black or Saddle
936 - Ermine White - Black, Red, Blue or Saddle
941 - Sebring Silver - Black, Red or Blue

Actually the Nolan Adams book does mention how many red interiors were produced for the 63 model year . . . out of a total production of 3742 cars . . . 279 of the convertibles had red interiors. Now you have to figure at least half of those were red exteriors . . so I would say . . not that many were produced!
