I realize it's hard to get an accurate photo representation on a computer screen, but the pic of your car looks like the B2 Glacial Blue Satellite that I once owned. But, like I said, it could just be my monitor. Here's a pic of a B5 that I found.

the pic you have look like b7 to me

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?

thanks guys

cs51762 , do you have any other pics of your car ?

thanks RANDY

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

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 .

that's the optional elastomeric bumper - the only factory way to have painted bumpers

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.
