Thanks Blu 72. I'm infatuated with it. The Bryar Blue paint is a sight to behold with the way it can play tricks on your eyes. Depending on the light of day it can look teal, targa blue or jetstream blue. It's pretty cool and I'm glad I held out for one this color. Even if I have no intention of driving the car, I often will open my garage, stare at it for a couple of minutes, and then go back to whatever it is I'm doing, instantly feeling better about life.

Beringen is not far from where I used to live. I lived in Tuddern Germany which is just across the border from Sittard The Netherlands. I uesd to go to the movies all of the time in Maasmechelen. There aren't too many classic Vettes rolling around there. Once you get it back on the road, you'll have to stretch it's legs on the E40 between Aachen and Koln. I loved that section. The Ardennes have some beautiful back country roads that are perfect for cruising. I'm a little jealous about the thought of driving through those hills on all of those winding roads with the t-tops off.

Correct, however many highways in Germany have reduced speeds now as well + they are full of heavy traffic these days.
Even then I haven't said anything about the restriction in Belgium.

It's not what it used to be any more.

Here are a few pics of my lemans blue 69. I just realized that these are all somewhat older pics, so its time to clean up the car and take some new ones.

Here's mine in "i have no idea" blue. It was originally red, painted by the 2nd owner. Guy I bought it from thinks its Vivid Blue. It looks like one of the stock blue colors to me.
