Is this 68 440 QQ1?

[Richie]

Hi everybody:

I like this blue. Would it be QQ1 or B7?

 

[eldubb440]

QQ1 is a 68 or earlier code, B7 is a 69 or up code

 

[Richie]

Oh so the same colour? This car looks like it has a nice clear coat on it too. I'm not a paint guy though

 

[eldubb440]

i doubt its the same exact color

This is my B7 car.

The RR on the left in my sig pic is Q1 "Electric Blue".
It's a '68-only color.
It's all too common for people to call it "B5 Blue", but it's definitely not, and I've owned a B5 '69 RR.

On my 68 the paint code is 999
It only means it’s a non factory color.

^^^ That looks like Corporate (aka Petty) Blue; yes, 999. Had one in that color decades ago.

This is a friend’s 68 Q1 Hemi RR

In printing circles, that is also known as Reflex Blue. Among my favorite colors.

And a lot of effort was put into the color make sure it matched the original paint under weatherstripping and such.

Very helpful Mosely. Thanks

QQ1 is a beautiful blue on 1968 only.
1967 QQ1 is burgundy.
1969 Q5 is turquoise.

Yes many folks claim their 67 or 68 blue car is “factory B5 blue”. Which started in 1969 amd is actually EB5 for 69-70. Then the formula and color changed for 1971 and the code was GB5.

That's why that first letter is important after 1968.

All good to know
