Replying to: fezo (Jan 21, 2009 4:27 pm) Ask and ye shall receive. Here's a 1964 Pontiac paint chart. They call that 75 Buick-looking color "Skyline Blue". Browsing through those charts, Buick called it "Wedgewood Blue" and Oldsmobile called it "Bermuda Blue". I didn't see it on the Chevy paint chart, so I guess they didn't offer it?   Years ago, I looked at a 1964 Pontiac convertible that the seller said was originally "Dusty Rose". But I don't see that name listed on the paint chart. However, it looked sort of like the "Sunfire Red Poly". Someone saw fit to give it a cheap repaint in an awful pinkish-lavender color, but they didn't get under the hood, trunk, or doorjambs, so you could see the original color peeking through. Horrible thing to do to a nice old car. Or what had been a nice old car...it was pretty bad by this time, and wouldn't run for more than a couple seconds.

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 21, 2009 8:02 pm) You do realize of course, that one leap off the pavement like that would destroy a modern car (and I think destroyed the various Mustangs they used in the film). Of course, front ends can be rebuilt... Replies to this message: lokki (Jan 22, 2009 8:41 am)

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 21, 2009 8:02 pm) well 'boom, if you do decide to re trace the chase scene, don't stop at the gas station! Replies to this message: boomchek (Jan 22, 2009 3:08 pm) euphonium (Jan 23, 2009 9:03 am) berri (Jan 23, 2009 9:36 am)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 22, 2009 3:04 pm) yeah, we all know what happened there!   Thinking about i now, it would be cool to drive a Mustang, even the few year old Bullit edition down there and around San Fran.   However it's not a car firendly city from what I've read. Even hotels charge you $20-30/day for parking with a hotel room Replies to this message: euphonium (Jan 23, 2009 9:03 am) berri (Jan 23, 2009 9:36 am)

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 22, 2009 3:26 pm) Yeah, it's just as "valuable" as those Custom Clouds cobbled together from a 1970s Chevrolet Monte Carlo.   Replies to this message: berri (Jan 23, 2009 8:54 am) boomchek (Jan 23, 2009 10:04 am)
