A true muscle car. Looks awesome. Love that colour.

Re: So it's not a v-6

It's a 08-10 Toyota Tundra blue. Should look better when it gets outside. I will post some more pic's when I get all the chrome and back glass put back on. Probably sometime next week. Oh yea, it has a 489 BBC, TH400 and 3.90 gears. Runs mid 10's on a decent day.

Re: So it's not a v-6

looking good, did you ever think of some stripes to it?

Re: So it's not a v-6

gotta say, white stripes would look pretty good.

Re: So it's not a v-6

Yes and no. Was discussed, but voted against. We have a red truck and trailer, my car is white and hers blue. Gotta keep the patriotic theme. :)

Re: So it's not a v-6

Lucky wife if mine, it's her first real racecar. She had raced her 98 Z28 for a year before we got this one race ready. It's almost as fast as my 68 Bird that I have raced since 96. :( She did a good job of saving her money while she was single before she met me.

Awesome 71 Camaro Opontee! :tup:

It's killing me to ask why a Toyota blue paint was chosen over a variety of factory GM blue paint selections?

I am toying with an idea to apply GM's Sunset Orange Metallic for my stock factory '88 Iroc Z28.

Just being patriotic to GM but I would suppose it's matter of personal preference.

Here's a pic of my faded Camaro. Closer inspection warrants a new paint job in the future.

I can't help but feel the same way, but when it comes down to it, it's just a color. The paint has nothing to do with toyota other than it resembles one they had.

Looking good! Can't wait to see it in the light!
