I kicked myself in the A$$ for not painting it Tahoe Turquoise, instead I painted it Black. Here is a couple of "As Found" and "As Completed" pictures @ Dana Mecum's Auction in St. Charles Illinois back in 2006. That's the first time I met Kwizz and TimG. Great people. Bill

As Steve said, the lighting had a lot to do with it appearing more Blue in the pics. From the moment I saw it at MCACN, I knew it was Tahoe and it looked like it had never sat in the sun, ever. Your poor Chevelle was all weather beaten and faded. I'm sure if you had seen one in the true color, you would have gotten over the desire to paint it black very quickly.
