That is certainly a dark blue.
Anyone know what kind of paint on it? Look kinda like a single stage. Has kind of a factory look to it.

Here's a couple original photos, taken on or very near the day the car was brought home from the dealer.

I have a lot more original 1968 GTO photos, but not many pics of the back end of a new 1968 GTO. Must be that Endura front bumper that garnered all the attention...
