Default Any 72 Bryar Blue's Out there?

I haven't seen many Bryar Blue Vettes (72 only color) on the forum. I saw one drive by at Carlisle and it looked great. Also wondering how many other Bryar Blue LT1's or Big-bloacks there may be.

Show em if you got em!

Got mine in the picture, the paint is only a .5 out of 10 because its there. Looks 1000% percent better in the picture, but the stripping begins when the snow falls.

I saw a couple LT1, bryar blue verts on the LT-1 registry, can't be many though, if you look at the production numbers.

Well mine ain't an LT-1 or BB but it is Bryar Blue. I really like this one year only color. Since I don't know how to post a pic, you'll have to squint real close at my avatar.

One of my favorite "Shark" colors. Saw 7 or 8 real nice ones @ Carlisle last weekend. One was an LT-1 roadster under the auction tent. Didn't see what it went for though.

Paul:

Jim Wallace sold the blue/blue convertible there at Carlisle.

Sorry we missed hooking up at the show. I was there from Thursday morning thru Sunday late afternoon. A lot to see in the swap meet sections and car corral.

Almost saw you-was behind my friend coming out of Hoss's Saturday evening. Just as I came around the corner from the cashier, you were going back towards your wife where you order your food at.

Hopefully we'll hook up at Bloomington next year.

Just looked at results from the auction, the LT-1 Vert sold for $56,500, but it did have AC as well.

Here's a pic of our 1,700 mile all original Survivor 72 Bryar Blue.



That's the original paint on the car.

Paul's seen the car a few times. Bryar Blue is one of the more interesting blue's that they had on a C3 and you don't see alot of them around.

Painted my 69 Bryar Blue 5 years ago. Couldn't bring myself to paint it the original Cortez Silver after all the work of stripping it. Most of the comments I get about the car are about the color. I'm out of town with no pictures now. Sorry.

Thanks for the info and pics. The first time I saw a Bryar Blue I thought it was a customer color. Later it began to grow on me and when the LT1 I bought in the spring popped up, I had to grab it.

Sweet machines, Thanks!

I have owned an air conditioned, LT-1, Bryar blue '72 for 40 years.

I used to own this car. And I still love this color. Owning a 1972 Bryar Blue LT1 with AC is still on my bucket list.
