What he said.

The color is Scarab Blue.

Easy decision IMO.

I was going to say white. But I've changed my mind. I think I like this one the most. It's sort of got a "period correctness" about it. It's a gentleman's car look. Not a racing car.

Another one to consider is viper green.

Tangerine, like the 1967 Marathon de la Route winner.

That blue is good, but my 2nd choice is Bahamageld

thank you guys, the car has been painted back to its original slate grey color, planning on some colorful small 2.0-liter cup-style decals.
