Shantung Yellow - lemony colour. See http://www.hallvw.clara.net/vwpaint.htm Code is L12D, and you should have 64 stamped across the end of the 3" x 1/2" metal painted plate on the end of the front panel with the hood catch and VIN plate. Incidentally, that long plate gives the day it was made - fiscal week - day of week - production line serial number. 12-3-4567 would be 12th week of calendar year from Jan 1st, Wednesday (day 3), zone 4(probably), line 5 (maybe) number 67 (more guesswork!). Hope that helps, Dave.
