Almost forgot its Le Mans Blue with Can-Am white stripes


















Great story !!

Sorry for that. Pick a good body shop and enjoy the new paint! Just do NOT do what the guy above did... We will have to toss you off the forum.

My first Vette in 1973 was a 69 Lemans Blue/Blue 350/350 4 speed. I think that's why my wife agreed to marry me in 76. Sold the Vette in 78 - still have the wife.

Should have done it the other way around!
