On another forum the topic was hotly debated as to the original color of the first Shelby GT40s. I had always assumed they were Ford Guardsman Blue. However a fellow who claimed to be familiar with the Shelby program countered the Guardsman Blue (PPG12832) came after the original slightly darker Caspian Blue (PPG12547). The latter he claimed was actually the "Shelby Blue" of the Daytona and Sebring GT40s in 1965. I've seen the restored GT40 104 at Amelia and it sure looked Guardsman to me but perhaps there is, as they say, more here than meets the eye. Does anyone have any information on this?
