Default 1978 Blue

My 78 was painted to look like the silver anniversary but it was originally blue. (not my idea to paint it bought it like that) The silver looks nice but my favorite color is blue and i thought about making it its original color. the problem is i cant find pics of the blue...anyone have one? What do you think leave silv ann or orig blue?

You're gonna be into for $4 - $5 G to change the color. Leave it silver.
I've had a silver '79 and the blue '79 I have now. Silver looked nice 95% of the time. Blue looks nice if theres no dust on it - which it shows in about 2 days. I vote leave it silver.
