Thank you again! - I am the 2nd owner - the previous owner applied a custom paint job - it was painted a shade resembling dark blue/purple. The PO changed the color afer a minor fender bender 30yrs ago. (this was confirmed when we found a small piece of a Red car's fender grafted in on the drivers side front corner)
