[Old Blue 66]

With that color, I like the chrome better. Either way Tyrol Blue is a great color!! Nice car!

Actually this one is Montreaux Blue. Back in 1967 I did have a Tyrol Blue with White top and parchment interior LeMans. Couldn't afford a GTO then (college). This one is the original color scheme (not original paint though), Montreaux Blue with black interior. Thanks for the compliment.

I gotta agree with Paul and your son. The Cragars look better with the Montreaux Blue. They give the car a look of power and say "come get me". The Torqs still look good but they'd give better contrast to a darker color. Either way hang on to both. You can switch them out and make people think you've got 2 GTOs of the same color. LOL

BTW... I saved both pictures for reference, and will print them out for my collection. If that's ok with you.

Be my guest on the pictures. Just FYI, the chromes are Torq Thrust II's not Cragers. I like Cragers too, but TT's are just easier to deal with. No slots!

I hear you on that!! Plus the lugs are always coming loose.

Yeah, I have a buddy that has a '66 442 with Cragers and everytime he has his tires rotated or changed, he has problems with the service guys getting the wheels back on correctly!

Paul I like the upgrades that you put on your LeMans. I really enjoyed the one I had back in '67. I often wished I still had it. It's the car we brought our first two kids home from the hospital in, but when the third one came along, it was replaced by a station wagon Great kids, lousy car.

Is the color on your car a factory color for '66. I don't recall it, but I like it.

Thanks!

Its factory for 65 and 66. Its called Blue Charcoal. Not many of them around for some reason. A lot of people like it today but maybe they didnt in 1966??

Damn!! I went back and fourth on that one. I couldn't decide if it was Montreaux Blue or Tyrol Blue. So I just guessed. Still nice color.

I like the dark wheels. I always loved those tt Ds with the dark spokes and they look great on that car.
