Agree here, that looks like B7 blue to me as well. I know for sure this was B5, I had it mixed and painted it myself many many years ago. Lacquer... now how long ago was that? :)

That rubber bumper car is B5. The colors in the photo have probably been tweeked a little to make the blue look richer.
Here's a B2 car

I saw that B2 340 4 spd buddy seat Road Runner at Nationals this year. I just stared and drooled. That car was SWEET!

cs51762 , what is the story with the nose piece / bumper ? was that an option on the GTX or was it tried to be made to have the RTS look . either way it looks cool . :beer:

Super rare option on 71 only gtx,roadrunner and satellites.Took me over twenty years to find an original front bumper,finally found a wrecked one.The steel loop bumper is just not painted but it is rubber coated too.Still have not painted mine.....soon.
