Jon from Central Texas

Welcome!

My daily driver when I was building up my '65 Valiant bracket racer was a '63 Pontiac Grand Prix I purchased for $100.00

Circa 1974, I painted the Pontiac myself during my Body & Fender classes at community college. I wanted to add a clear coat with gold pearl, so I chose a solid blue color from a paint chip book at the local Dupont jobber. I might be mistaken, but looking back on it, I may have chosen Petty Blue without even realizing it. What do you think?

That's a beautiful car!! $100? Could you imagine what that car would go for now!! It took me 8 months to find someone that knew what Richard petty blue was, they kept saying hemi blue was the closest they could get. Then I finally found a mopar nut that knew exactly what I was looking for. Lol
