It's technically a chameleon metallic purple but I figured I'd post our vettes current state. This is 12 hours out of the booth.

When I had mine painted December of 2012 I had seen only a picture of another C-3 painted Le mans Blue Metallic. And had to have mine painted to match.

I likes C-3's clean, simple and mostly stock looking.
But a little more up to date. Hope you like it.

Haha, mine was painted that color in September of last year. Maybe it was mine you saw? There is only one other C3 on this forum that is painted this color (atleast I think its this color).

And yes, your car looks great! I think I should pollish my rockers, looks ver clean.

The one I fell in love with had stainless steel header side pipes.
The guy even gave me the paint code.

I like the 5 spoke wheels, it gives it the more modern look with out
loosing the vintage look.

I did like the turbine wheels, but not 15" tires.

Default Back in my garage after 32 years

I bought back my 69 LT-1 coupe in August of 2012. I originally purchased the car new in late 1968. After keeping it for 10 years I sold it, and followed it through 4 owners. When I heard it was for sale again, I had to buy it back. Getting back into the car, that I had not seen or let alone driven for 32 years..was like going back in time, and brought back a lot of old memories. You can go home again
Almost forgot its Le Mans Blue with Can-Am white stripes
