#01291 correlates to number in block 24 on build sheet for tracking purposes. Only real value at this point is to match the build sheet (if found) to the car as further proof the two go together.

FWIW, there should be two paint color numbers or a letter if it has a vinyl top...unless 26 appears twice and just wasn't listed due to redundancy. :D

Thanks for the response Dale.. My car is suppose to have vinyl top but I'm debating on installing it....What would the code be for the vinyl top?

A = White
B = Black
D = Blue
G = Green
T - Tan

Note--Often the top code is way to the right and looks to be part of the PNT, e.g. BPNT
