    3269 GT was originally Blu Notte metallizzato (night blue metallic).
    It was first shown 15-25 March 1962 at the XXXII Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.
    Only 8 days later (2 April 1962) the car was shown at the Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia Museum in Torino (pic in post #402). At the time it was still Blu Notte.
    I hope this answers your question.
    And no, at the time I was under 5 years old and didn't have a camera-equipped iphone yet.........

    Thanks Marcel it’s had quite a few color changes but it looks good in any color :)
    As I said it’s living back here in the United States with a very nice gentleman.

    Great car :cool: and very cool story. :D
    Curious. Was the car ever vandalized or damaged from spending late nights in those club parking lots? :eek: Every time you came out at 3 am, I bet you did a walk-around to check.
    You ever find a hot chick passed out on the hood? Her: How about a ride? You: Sorry honey, there's not enough room for you and my drums. :p

    3269 GT is in an excellent collection with a very serious collector in the U.S. now.

    I must admit I don't have the collector bug. Even when I was a kid, I brought baseball cards for the gum. I'd then trade away the cards. I'm sure a few Micky Mantle and Roger Maris slipped through my fingers, but not Roberto Clemente, at least not for a while. :eek:
