I have a 1975 Vette and looking at the trim tag you see when you open the drivers it says 13L for the paint code. What does that that mean? Thanks much, Darrell

13L is the paint code for Silver Metallic paint. The "L" is meant to mean "Lower" for two-toned cars, but since all Corvettes from '68 - '77 were single colored, the "L" is irrelevant. Thumbs Up

Same color as my '75! My interior is 73V which is dark red vinyl or Oxblood as it is sometimes referred to. What color is your interior?
