Hi Gents,
I'm sure other members have asked this question before ,so sorry for the repeat.Is there a way I can tell what the original color or colors of my 65 AH 3000 were ,the day it was built?I'm hoping the chassis number might help.Again ,thanks for your help.

Bobby,
It is listed on the heritage certificate. That is the only place that I know of where it is documented. If you look under things that don't get removed very often, then you may be able to see the original paint. After removing a muffler hanger, the original paint was still visible on my car.

Bobby, please contact me with the VIN of your BJ8. I may have the original color already identified in the registry.
