The color of Dave's and my car is BU-11 Basilica Blue. It was used
from 66 to Nov. 67. Since there were hardly any cars built in 66, I
assume it is pretty rare. Unfortunately, "Original S&M" doesn't show it,
it shows the replacement, Mineral Blue.
I don't have any pictures worth posting, I think, I'll check.
