Calling all Canadians!!!

[Impalaguru]

A friend of mine has a Canadian built 63 Impala SS conv. and we are trying to get a little more info on it. I am unfamiliar with the trim tags so the color code totally threw me. The color code is SP2637, I believe. Its kind of an orangey red. Similar to the 1957 chevy red but a little more orange. We'd also like to obtain some documentation from GM of Canada. Does anyone know how to go about doing that?
The car has factory air and a black interior. It has a 409 but its originality is pretty suspect. Its still a super cool car!!! Thanks for any help!!

Thanks for the info, guys! It has been sent off and I should know pretty soon. Actually a friend of mine sent it off the other day so when he relays the info I'll post it. He asked about the color which, I believe, was SP2637. Not sure about the number but it was 4 digits and it did have the SP before it.

Did your buddy get his Canadian GM build letter on the '64???

Yes, Keith, he did! The orig. power train was a 283/PG (as I suspected) but the color is still a mystery. It is some sort of special order color. It didn't have any info on the original options but it said it was sold new at Bouillard Automotive in Sherbrooke Quebec.
My friend is going to contact another fellow in Canada about the color code on this 63 SS conv. Interesting stuff!!!
