The third car is mine, thanks for the props

I'm not by my car so I can't verify the paint code on the RPO, but I do believe it is 1990 Code 23 Maui Blue Metallic, just like Manovox's car.

You have to be careful though--Maui Blue, at least in 1990, AFAIK, was the name given to this blue when worn on Firebirds, but on Camaros, the same paint code was given a different name--either Bright Blue or Light Blue IIRC. Where you have to be careful is that in earlier years Camaros came in a color called Bright Blue, but it was much darker and not the same color. I always refer to mine as Maui Blue though, FTR.

Also, the picture on the beach is not the same color, it's much darker than what we have.

Love love love my Maui Blue, wouldn't trade it for anything, and indeed a very uncommon color. Could never get it on an IROC.

EDIT: Just found this, probably makes it more confusing since it lists 23U as one version of Medium Maui Blue Metallic, and 9537 as another. Probably identical, but yeah. http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au...rs_usa_M-Z.htm
