Default Unknown 1979 Paint code

Hi,

First post here. I have purchased my first Corvette. A 1979 4-speed car and I am tring to find all of the info I can on it.

The data plate shows the car as "Cheverolet J25" Does this mean Oct 25?

The Paint code on the data plate is 67L. I can't find a reference to this anywhere for 79. What color is this? The car is presently Red.

Thanks,
Lee

Corvette Black book says color code 82, Corvette Dark Brown, may also be coded 67.

This is in the notes just under the color codes in my 2000 book. Its an old book.
