I love that blue. I was actually thinking about painting my Vette the same color, but I'm gonna stick with the bright yellow. I can't wait till my car gets painted. Your car looks really nice though.

Brad,
Congrats, it looks absolutely fabulous. Questions:

1. This is your 70 coupe, so the color is #979 Bridgehampton Blue?

2. Was this the Nov-Dec. $6k special from Auto Buffs? I remember turning a couple of CF Members on to this limited time offer.

To John and the Auto Buffs Team: Wow, great work!

Rickman

1. Yes, it is now back to Bridgehampton Blue from some other shade of blue that was put on there in 1988.

2. Yes, this was the special that John had back in Nov.
