Can someone please help

[Staged 1]

I have a buddy who has a 1970 GS. It is Cornet gold and has saddle interior. The vinyl top is a cream color and appears to be original. What I don't get is that I can't find a code for that color top in '70. E seems to be a '71 :Do No: Here is the cowl info-

ST70 43437FL1 246997BDY
TR176 55E PNT
05B

Thanks :bglasses:

The top may be what is called Covert. Its a neutral type color. I don't have a 70 chassis manual so I might be wrong,but thats what my guess would be.

No "E" though

White = A or 1
Black = B or 2
Dk. Gold = H or 7
Dk. Brown = F or 8
Dk. Green = G or 9

There was a light gold vinyl top in 70 that was discontinued early in the year. Don't know what the code was.

The daily car reports do list a number "5" (no letter) vinyl top color of "Sandalwood".

Only 328 GS's built with it.
455 Coupes = 96
350 Coupes = 232

My guess is that this is what the letter "E" represents.

With a build date of 05B (2nd week of May) the car is not an early model year car so maybe the color was phased in late in the year :Do No:
