Yes. GM paint code "968" for a 1974 Corvette. I'm not sure why the exterior paint code has an "L" with it. An "L" usually means leather interior option, but it is linked with the interior color code.

Starting in the '74 M/Y, Corvette adopted the standard GM U or L suffixes on paint codes. U= upper part of the body, L=lower. On monotone cars the L was used as the paint code for the entire car.
Most Corvette books (for unknown reasons) incorrectly show the '73 and prior 9xx paint code system for '74.

These are the codes for the stock acrylic lacquer. Most automotive paint suppliers will be able to mix new paint from these codes.
