Thanks! To be honest, the car looks quite green/grey most of the time. Nothing close to dark silver or gunmetal. And VERY metallic.

Very nice car. Thats the color of my 70 coupe, that is the original color and will be that color once I get the car back to the point of painting.

Well, you can't go wrong then. Not only is it a great color, but being original, will enhance the value. I got REALLY lucky. The SECOND I decided to get a Vette, I told myself that I wanted a '70, and in a color that was not only cool, but somewhat easy to keep clean. And the very first one I saw in the local Craigslist, had everything I wanted! (Except that it was not an LT1 and didn't have A/C). But since his asking price was so good, and I knew that sometimes, it could take FOREVER to find "the one", I jumped all over it.

Neat story. When you know, you know. I like how the hardtop matches the car. My 70 coupe was born for california. It lived its life in whitter and sacramento. Getting restored in missouri. LOL

I guess this is as good a place as any for my first post.
To the OP Joe, it seems we have twins. The quick story behind the car is that is to be a father/son project for the next few years. My son is starting his journey in mechanical engineering in high school. My father in law has had the car since new, and thought it would make a great birthday present for my son. (I did agree to his gift) His birthday was yesterday, and I suppose our project begins. I do look forward to many hours wrenching with him. How long do you think I can use..."We were working on homework" to my wife.

Here is my Tungsten Gray Metallic. Still needs wet sanding and buff but pics don't do it justice. Will get better pics when I get it put back together.

Happen to see this on CG this morning, it's kind of in the ball park, but interesting color to say the least.
