Plymouth vehicle color codes can be preceded by an letter such as P or Q. For example if you are looking for color code W7/GW7, it may appear on your vehicle as PW7/GW7 or W7/QW7 or RW7/W7, etc.
Some of the colors below may be followed by the word mattt, i.e. Color Description (matt) . These are trim or bumper colors

So according to what I remember...the paint code is in the third line down...so maybe it's KG8...which translates to K8 or Deep Sherwood Poly (a dark green color?) Does this make any sense?

If not, try this website... http://www.paintscratch.com Select the year, make and model of your friends car...

All the 1976 Plymouth Volare colors are listed there.

You got to be kidding me. Decode a Moppar (yes spelling correct in my book) on a Camaro site?

He came here looking for help and Bruce seems to be up on Mopar paint.

Well, "L31" is a solid cam'd 409 :thumbsup:
Nice find :D

Not sure what a 'M31' is though - could be secret-factory-racing version of the HD M13 3-speed :)
Seems funny it has three trans RPo codes... :o

J/K - glad he was able to get some info - I don't know squat about Iacoca's cars... well, 'sept they made a L-6 that fell over on the engine stand and they thought it looked neat that way... :D
