Thanks again for the paint info, mine looks more purpleish black sometimes too,
I wonder if you parked the 2 years together if you would notice a difference.
I have seen a few 1974 T/As painted a lighter brighter blue (like 75 Bimini Blue) and I always thought that color was Admirility Blue, I guess the cars I saw were painted wrong.

I have seen the 16" & up sizes of those wheels in a cast look finish before,
just not the 15" sizes, Maybee by now the make them, I found on the summit
racing web site the old style ARE plastic hex center caps, so I bought a set
and they fit great and give that 70s-80s look to the wheels, If I want 90s
Billit look I can just switch the caps back. The only bummer is the older wheels
have a thicker cast aluminum lip like the torque thrusts have and the new ones
have a thinner spun aluminum lip.
