    I would clean with some soap and water, and maybe do a little buffing to it as well. I bet is is just a "mist" of the blue over the primer. Wouldn't it be interesting if it turned out to actually be GREEN?? Maybe Frank used to own it?? :D

    Wow, looks like a much better deal with your pics.
    The ones in the ad didn't do it justice.

    What I find hilarious is the ones sold in Canada have the red and white crest on the rear quarter to sybolize the Canadian flag... However they left the color scheme of the entire rest of the car red/white/blue! To have been truly correct for that market, they should have just been red/white.

    Also, not all Sprints were made in Canada.
