Thanks much for the kind words! The 72 year only color does have a greenish aqua hue to it that's hard to describe unless you see it in the sun.

I got lucky at this former Chevrolet dealership and had the afternoon sun to the car's rear 3/4 view.

Here is a photo of it inside on the lift, it lives on the top floor. Shows the color in a different light, literally.

Yeah thats a cool color! I did mine Targa Blue the 72' Corvette Color on my 78' and it's got purple/green in it and you can see it at different angles/light, it's pretty cool imo, inside its like a deep nice blue and outside its a bright metallic blue

Thank you. Its Laguna Grey, but it appears that there is a tiny bit more green in the mix than stock.

Bought my '75 vert new and still running GREAT. It is completely stock and I'm in my 70s. It's white with black leather interior and black soft....white hardtop. Fully optioned including a rear window defogger. One of these years I would enjoy driving it to Bloomington to get a survivors certificate...everything on the car is original except the normal maintenance items (i.e.. tires/battery/etc.).
