Hi together

I missed my luggage / t-top straps on my c3. Does anyone know the correct blue shade for the TRIM 412 in 72?

Thanks!

Have you actually found any blue straps, doesn't appear to be a choice at vendors?

jeffrey864

Yes, I found some one used on eBay. The straps had some different blues. A part will be through the bleaching of the sun.

Doesn't anyone have a picture of the blue straps from 1972?

Jeff, I went out to my '72 and shot a few pics for you.
My '72 is Bryar Blue with the 412 interior all original.
I'm sure the straps have faded over the years but here's some pics. Hope this helps. Charles

A BIG Thanks to you Charles for the pictures 💪🏼😃

Now, I can search the right one, to match with my interior condition. I am aware of the fading from the sun.

Your carpet looks also a little bit of fading, but extremly original👌🏼

Best wishes!
Jeffrey

Hi Charles

Here a photo from my last judging process, two weeks ago and I won in the 72 category here in Switzerland. But the local jury is not so strong like NCRS, not every number an detail must be correct. My goal is to go completly NCRS, for this is the strap also a missing part 👍🏼😉 I am on a good way 😃

Beautiful car Jeffery.
If your car is A/C equipped, it looks to be a twin of mine for the exception of the color.
Your tires must be European as I've never seen that brand.
That '72 two cars back looks like it might be Bryar Blue?
Thanks for posting the pic, enjoy seeing Vettes in foreign settings.

Galaxy tires are sold in the US in 15" sizes and actually have a higher speed rating than BFG and Cooper.

Mako72

I did not know that. The higher speed rating is interesting. It's nice to have that option as I always thought you had to go to the Avons in 15".

MelWff

V rated and not pricey

Yes, Charles my car has also a A/C, but is since this spring broken (magnetic clutch), a nother project

And a second yes, it‘s a bryar blue in the back.

The Vitour Galaxy R1 Radial G/T tires has a good price/value ratio with benefits; high speed index, and for me a better performance than the BFG.

When you look for the best of the best go with the Avons ACR3 awesome tires performance (dry and wett) and the best the profile looks classic, but the price is not cheap.

So, offtopic off ☝🏼😅
