Not sure if you already know what Laguna Blue (1965 Sting Ray color) looks like or you specifically want to see a C3 in that color. Anyway, here is a site with some '65s on it. Scroll down to the pics of the cars. In order, the colors are black, Trophy blue, Laguna blue, then Nassau blue. I had a real "thing" for the Nassau blue '65 coupe...

What do you think of this color? It is VERY close to Briar Blue.

Thanks for the compliment.

It's a custom match but is very close to Briar Blue with more pop.

Laguna Blue for 1966 is one of my all time favorite colors, but I've never seen a C3 in that color. But here's a beautiful '69 we saw earlier today at Spring Daytona in a very dark blue that is a dead ringer for '63-'64 Daytona Blue (another favorite). I looked for the owner to find out more, but no luck......
