Looks somewhat like Mulsanne Blue (correct color for '71). But, if it has a clear-coat, it wasn't done at the factory. My "suspicion" is that it was re-painted years after manufacture and a SPEC trim tag was installed to convince 'someone' that the paint was original.

Does look like Mulsanne Blue only Targa Nd Bryar Bluein 1972. Most likely SPEC trim tag would love to see pic of it.
