The photo is original Metallic Ocean Turquoise, yes?
Nope. That's the Electric Blue, a Chrysler Corp. color back in the late 60s, early 70s. It was very similar to the color in Boss' photo, but a little bit lighter. Mine looks a lot darker in the pic than it actually was. Probably a combination of the pic being a Kodachrome print, which tended to sometimes look a little muddy, and being 50 years old.

Okay, my mistake. Looks very close but yeah, old Kodak stuff. I believe I know the color to which you are referring. Found a first gen 'Cuda that color last year in a private yard.
