Good afternoon all,
I have just registered on this forum, and have been rebuilding a 68 HK Premier for the last 2 years. I have tried to search for an answer to my question on this forum before, but to no avail. My cars trim code is 1217 - 18R, is this 'Buckskin Beige', what is the combo ?

1217 is the external paint colour, not sure what it is. 18 is Buckskin Beige, not sure if R is plain vinyl or an insert.

The number on the next 2 lines will be the paint codes, may only have 1 code, as a rough idea what colour do you think the car was originally and was it 2 tone?

1217 is the Holden paint code for Inca Gold with Grecian White roof.
I had a look in my early HK parts catalogue, and it lists 18R as Buckskin Beige Vinyl.

The Inca Gold is also a metallic colour.

Its the 1472nd HK Premier out of the Elizabeth (Adelaide) plant. Thats about it. HKs are a bit hard to tell much from the numbers, apart from luxury level, paint and trim. You can work out on a Brisbane car if it was manual or auto but not much else.
