According to the 1963 GM Heritage Center Specs
http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm ... orvair.pdf
Interior Color Code 712 (Black) is a valid color code match with exterior color code 936 (Ermine White)
1963 Corvair Exterior-Interior Color Combinations (900-Monza Series)

I haven't been able t find anything that would explain the "29" on the ACC line.

Thanks Brad. I had missed that in the GM heritage archive. Some where along the cars life someone changed the color from white to Monaco Blue and the interior from black to blue. Kinda ironic, I looked at a white one with black interior a few months back and passed on it. lol.....
