Or Zircon Blue, if you go by the photos take under the seat squabs.

Who knows? Maybe a Heinz 57 car, as Glenn suggested.

I haven't looked to see what images they have in the listing for documents, but this seems like a car that was put together with parts of various cars to suit the tastes of whomever did it. I like the combination of parts, and you are obviously not buying this car to be a concours factory-exact vehicle. If there is bondo in the doors, I would be concerned because I have seen lots of neglected P6s in rust belt areas and never seen rusted out doors.
