Beautiful color!
A brand new 1972 Ontario Orange was the very first Vette I ever drove. I was a car jockey at a Chevy dealership and when I brought that car up front I found out it was given to one of my HS classmates as a HS graduation gift from his Dad. It was his first car too.
Beautiful color........my second fave next to Mille Miglia.......
People crack me up when discussing 72's sometimes as some try to make them out to be a low performance car.......they were almost identical to a 70'-71'....and damn near run right next to them regardless of what the power rating said. To me....ALL of the stock small blocks back then were not rocket ships......high compression or not.
Anyway.....my 72'
My 72 with Bryar Blue paint... after 5 yrs of work
Looks great!!!
Question for you, I have a 72 Bryar Blue all stripped and ready for epoxy primer/build primer next and then PPG base/clear. PPG rep here told me that PPG does not mix that original Bryar Blue paint code anymore, but has another color number which is supposed to be identical. What brand paint did you use and code? Yours looks like I think Bryar Blue is supposed to look, but Bryar Blue (or blue/green or teal blue) can look different in different lights, I think.
Some would disagree. But your car is beautiful and represents 5 years of quality work! Bryar Blue does have some green in it. Bridgehampton Blue (darker blue 70-71) does have just a touch of green in it. Whoever was responsible for Corvette paint colors in that era had a 'thing' for a tinge of green in other colors: War Bonnet Yellow, Bridgehampton Blue, Steel Cities Gray all had that slight greenish tinge that was most noticeable with highlights of setting sun.
