I really fell in love with this color and I just can't seem to find it. is it a stock nova color? Does anyone have a ride with this color or one similar to it? I REALLY want the color code for this.

Check a nova forum? I'm sure they'll know the color and possibly where to get it.

I'm hoping it wasn't a custom color. the paint job looks fresh from the picture but waaay better than electron blue.

Nantucket blue sometimes has a flat sort of pastel quality to it (slightly). I think the blue you seek is a 1966/67 color called Marina Blue. Its hard to say for sure because of differences in pictures and your video card. Go to an automotive paint store, and take the chip book OUTSIDE. thats definitely a 60s and 70s color. My money is on the Marina Blue (its one of my faves...especially on 1966/67 chevelles and novas) Its easy to paint too...
