Looks like Mexico. Could be Riviera depending on lighting, etc.

Blue is notoriously difficult to capture, could be miami, riv, mexico, voodoo or maritime. Best guess mexico or riv.

My guess would be riviera. But as others have noted, it’s really hard to tell from a picture.

Not sure but now that I've looked at it some more, I think it's actually Mexico Blue.

After some investigation, i found out the color is mexico blue. I put a deposit on the car, sight unseen.

I found the original owner’s thread here — https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...lue-981-a.html

Beautiful car. I'd put black wheels back on it.
