Q-Q paint code on 65 Coupe?

[Ken Edmunds]

I have a silver fuel injected, real side exhaust car in my shop. It has an AO Smith body and the paint code is Q-Q. Can somebody enlighten me?

Thanks, I did not have my pocket spec guide with me.

Ken,

Assume the enlightenment you seek concerns AO Smith body and real side pipes.

According to my new NCRS Corvette Spec Guide "1965 St Louis produced bodies have "900" prefixed to each exterior body color paint code suffix on their body identification tag. AO Smith built bodies do not contain a prefix to the exterior body color paint code letters."

As Jack states, QQ is the code for silver.

Hope this enlightens

AO Smith did not produce bodies equiped for side exhaust. So it would not be an original side exhaust car.

Thanks for the info, I had forgotten about no AO Smith side pipe cars.

Ken,
I assumed that is hat you wanted enlightenment on. That is why I gave you the info on St Louis and AO Smith bodies. Maybe you are in error about it being an AO Smith body?
