What color Blue?

So many colors to choose from out there! I can't seem to stop looking at this one pic of a dark blue GT with white rally stripes. I'm dying to find out what the color code and name are, but if I recall correctly the original owner who made all these modifications sold this car not long ago.

Does anyone know the member's name or contact info who restored and modified this GT to it's blue color?

Thanks, Neil

I think the wide white strips take away from the paint, but both those blues are awesome very rich.

If everything seems to be going well you have obviously overlooked something.

My uncle and I really like the blue that was one my old Nighthawk 750- Tahitian Candy Blue. I believe that 93 was the only year for this color or was no more than 2 or 3 years option.

I know some may cringe but my 71 gt was repainted a corvette blue & looks great. Not very far from the original paint.It's a lighter blue than the others

Well, they may not cringe about yours, but, before I knew I had an actual "Blue Max" Manta, I repainted mine a 72 Corvette "Midnight" blue, awesome dark blue color.

"GT Freak" or "O.B." as he goes by emailed me back and said the color was from an Acura NSX and its called Monte Carlo Blue Pearl! I'm considering that with black or saddle interior, or this Scion TC silver-blue with gold rims and saddle interior.

Either way I'm excited about the second 1970 GT I bought. It's just a body with no engine or transmission. I'll focus on cleaning up the engine bay, and under carriage first, then install a new engine and transmission. Then eventually an entire body paint job in one of those two blue colors!
