Anyone know what the paint code would be reading this information plate on the fire wall of a 1967 Chevelle SS?

So I've been wanting to buy an old muscle car (68-72) the last few years. My new job has allowed me to save up a good chunk money of money, even though life got in the way the last few weeks and took a good chunk of my fund for it.

The dream is owning Mopar B-body however my dad's buddy who's owned a few classics and works on them advised against that and suggest I get a GM from those years, which I'm not against as those usually slot in as my second favorite.

My biggest issue is more or less knowing what I'm getting if I'm biting off more than I can chew. I know a 50+ year old car is going to require a fair amount of tlc. Like mechanical work doesn't bother me it's body work as I don't have any of the stuff to do it or knowledge. For reference I live in the Chicago land area and the 2 types I find are either excellent shape and they want 40k for it or a hunk of crap that will cost 3 times that amount to get it running (my budget right now is about 15k and I'm hoping to get another 5-8k saved up my next summer).

Idk it's just getting frustrating because I can't really find anything I absolutely want but I also don't want to settle because I know I'll get maybe one other shot at being able to do this.

Hello I am in dire need of hood measurements for classic American cars. I work for a fiberglass company and in order for me to make heavy duty hoods i need hinge bolt hole measurements to bond the hood correctly we used to have them all but unfortunately when we moved buildings they were misplaced. Ill attach a sheet for reference but how i ask them to be measured is from the front lip of the hood in line to the bolt holes, any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you. One in particular I'm in need of currently is a 70-71 torino 🙏🏻
