Bryar Blue on Black. Probably the most stunning color on a C3, but it never shows true in any on line photo. If you haven't seen it before, it's a one year only (1972) color. And it's really Teal rather than blue.

Not that it was available for my 72, but I love 71s Brands Hatch Green with Dark Green Interior.

Sweet. I got a vote.

But being partial to the Buckeyes I love silver over red.

In a c1, black with silver coves and red interior gets me going.
