your car was built on Sept 1th, 408 A.D. .........or not!
I think that be your "paint code" number.

go to "search" (at the bottom of the bbs"page") & type in PAINT CODE....you should get a bunch of returns to look through. I use the "Restorers Guide to Authenticity" which has paint codes listed by year in the back...also check out
good luck Greg

Nope, not Sepia Brown. That is color code 415 last offered in 1973. Your car is darker than Sepia.
