joe has a beautiful light pewter silver vette...I almost went that color...but i saw lemans blue and couldn't help myself.


69er has a lemans blue vette with a blue interior...it looks amazing...perhaps you should look at that.

it has to be the right silver. My personal favorite color combo is blue and silver...but it has to be the right blue, and the right silver, or it looks bad.....the silver has to be light....and the blue dark...

thats just my opinion anyway.

I have seen a '70 the same color as mine with the blue interior, and it looked good (in fact I think the owner is a forum member, saw his car at the forum cruise in this past May...)

I agree it needs to be a lighter shade of silver to match well with the blue :yesnod: - The Cortez Silver is pretty light. Another option would be either Sebring Silver (1997 - 2000 ) or Quicksilver (2001-2002) used on the C5s.
