Looks like Astro Blue code 25. The Med Blue code 26 is a bit darker.

That looks too dark to be code #25 Astro blue.
I'd say it's code #26 Mulsane Blue..or possibly Code #28 Fathom Blue.

There was no code #28 Fathom Blue in 1970. Mulsanne was not a term used in 1970 for the blue color either. It is however to dark for Astro Blue (25) and I would guess it to be code 26 Medium Blue. But since it is coded 14 (Cortez Silver) what does it matter? Too much money for an incorrect car. Just my opinion.

....but isn't it nice to see a correct coded trim tag for the car at least...now it's just a color change.

[Rick H]

Sure it's a nice car but there is more to it then just a color change.

Look at some of the questions being asked. Some people don't have a clue. Blank pad with nothing on it is not unusual?? All it should have is 3 codes and some didn't get serial numbers?? Come on!

Maybe someone could ask him to look by the oil filter for the vin.

First thing I would have done. If the front pad is blank then most likely it was decked. It the VIN is in the rough casting and it matches then all the better. But the seller posted every other code except the engine. If you can find the codes on the axle abnd tranny, you should have no problem looking for the engine VIN stamp. Again, just my opinion.

Just looking at the motor raises a few questions. I.E. newer style GM valve covers (to shiney), incorrect fuel line to carb, HEI distributor, headers, etc. You're looking at some serious money to get this car correct and $42k is a lot to start with.

The color is nice but not on that car.

Rick, it matters because as I said, I like this color and was just curious what it is. I'm not interested in the car itself, just the color. Thanks for the info though.

I really do think that is code #26 Mulsanne Blue on that Camaro.
That was the original point of this topic,not the car itself.

There sure was a code #28 Fathom Blue in 1970,although it was not used on the 70 Camaro originally,so I'm sure that's what you meant.

As for the color code #26 not being named "Mulsanne Blue" in 1970,I'd have to take issue with that,as I have always known that to be a term used to describe one of the 1970 Chevrolet production colors.
And here's why..
