Mine's a 65, not a 69, but it is painted Alcapulco Blue. Everybody who looked at the paint mixed in the can thought I was crazy for wanting it that color. However, once it went on the car they changed their minds real quick.

This (see my sig) is what it looks like REALLY dirty and old! Those pics came from when I first saw my car sitting in the barn. LOL I'll try to post one of it cleaned up a bit.

the baby blue 69 mustang is my car that Nabster posted for me since I could not get it to post a picture....Thanks Nabster. Anyway this color is not Alcapulco blue. I think it is a color from the 65 Mustangs. My car is supposed to be Alcapulco Blue . The baby blue paint job is so nice that I really hate to repaint it. Just wondering how you guys on the forumk like this baby blue on a 69 Mustang. The black vinyl top kinda adds to it I think. The car is a 302 2v automatic with power steering and air and everything is still origional. Thanks for looking. Keith

No, they're actually Coys C-55's. They look identical to the MB Old Schools except the Coys have hidden valve stems.

Regarding the OP's question about the baby blue...If I were painting a car it wouldn't be my first choice of colors but since your paint is in good shape I'm not sure I'd have the heart (or the cash) to repaint it just to change the color. I think a more aggressive set of wheels and tires would do wonders for that car. A set of 15" chrome Magnum 500's and white letter tires would look great on that car.
