Thanks Charlie. Yes when I seen it that car was "Carolina" Blue, white top and white strips. Was buried in with a bunch of other stuff, Like the M/T T-Bolt with Hemi heads that they NEVER ran.

Glad to know it was a true story back then. Is that a correct number for Carolina Blue LS6's being 2?

I have no idea on that #. I found the orig. owner as his name was on the build sheet. Said he stopped driving the car when he was starting to feel like a criminal as he was buying avgas at the airport and hauling it in 5 gallon cans. He sold it in the late 80's for 6K including a open trailer. At that he asked what I gave for it and 27K did not make him happy as it hadn't been that long. A shame they added the stripes.

Where was it built? AFAIK Atlanta didn't build convertibles in 1970.

That is exactly what I'm seeing on the car. Looks very good on yours with the black top and stripes. Mine being a hardtop and no vinyl top is going to have a lot of blue. I'm not sure at this point if it even had the stripes originally but I'll find out when I start stripping.
I'll shoot you a PM so we can exchange emails. If I could, I'd like to send you a couple pics of small areas orange is peeled away to reveal the blue if you'd like to compare. I've also just recently found blue on the lower portion of the black SS grill behind the front bumper. Someone had brushed black over it. I didn't even realize the bottom of that grill would have been body color but makes sense as it connects to the lower portion of the headlight surrounds.

Okay thanks Charlie, I'm misremembering then. Must have been someone else that sent it to me. The Dupont paint code on your build sheet was the missing link I was looking for though. Big thanks for that

Anyone have an idea how they did it at the factory? When a oddball color was picked how would they implement that into production?

Interesting.

Looking through the paint codes and formulas, 70 Olds uses a different Dupont number for Azure Blue. Looks like it could be a close version of it.
