While your at it get him to show you his 120YSSS- you will be impressed.

Oh No!!! I painted my recently rebuilt A14 light Ford Blue. (I guess it's really kind of baby blue) I hope it doesn't run like a Ford.

Ive always used chevy blue, its a good enough match for me.

it sure as hell isnt lilac

Ah good. If you find out more, please add to the wiki article. I'm not too sure of the color mix listed there. But the pictures are pretty conclusive about the two engine colors.

Thanks dd, I was hoping you might of had something hidden away somewhere, but it gives me more to go on.

There are different shades of blue in different years. The 1971-1973 1200s used a turquois color that is reportedly close to Chrysler Blue. For pictures and more details, see wiki - engine color

I would rather have my block rusty and covered in oil than paint it chev blue. Take a block into RJ pattersons and get them to colour match it for you.
