I picked up this 1969 road runner convertible project in July 2010. It had been sitting behind a six foot tall fence outside next to a house for twenty five years. It's an early production 383, automatic car that is B5 with a white top and white and blue interior. It is a car that the previous owner abused and beat on until the timing chain went in the original motor. The first pictures are when I picked it up and the others are after body work and paint. I hope to have it close to being together some time this summer.

Very cool!


Looks like a twin to the one I had when I lived in N. California back in the 80's, exact same color combo, same condition even! Mine was a 4 speed with VERY few options other than the convertible top.

Looks beautiful! The color almost looks light enough to be B3 blue? Is it just the flash making it look so light?

The paint is ppg base/clear. It was matched to a support on the rear wheel well that was covered by the well liner and had not seen the light of day since the cars original assembly.

B5 blue is slightly different depending on the model year. Same code, different shade.

I want my fair share

BEAUTIFUL! What line of PPG is that and is the paint code just B5?

Thanks!
