It is a special paint code car - lemans blue and there is still some of the paint left on the car. You can see the original color inside the door.

It's wasn't Lemans blue,it was Mulsanne blue.
Besides Buick,that 927 AF-017 code was known in 1970 by Chevrolet as paint code #26 Mulsanne Blue.
Aka...LUCITE code #5190L or FISHER code #4069.
It was an std. RPO color for the 1970 Corvette,but was known as one of the special ordered paint colors to be on the 1970 Chevelle.
So far I've seen 5 other 1970 chevelles with that code.Both Malibu &amp; SS.
Two 1970 Monte Carlos as well.
Beginning in 1971 to 1972 it was an std. RPO Chevelle color.
In 1973,1974 &amp; 1975,it became known as code #26 Bright Blue Metallic.

Also,get a 1970 assembly manual and compare the drawings in the body section to look for certain firewall piercings that might indicate if it was even a Super Sport.
