Hey FCBO gang! Got a project on the go and looking for some help! I currently have a 1974 Monaco "Bluesmobile" that's been dry docked for a little over a year, due to me putting the 440 through its paces lol the engine runs well enough but the trans lost its output shaft seal, and due to heavy snowfall one of the torsion bars also let go. So, once those are repaired, I intend to start playing around with the engine to try and make it slightly more "performer" but still maintain some "Boulevard cruiser", anyone here have any suggestions? Also, for the blue car, is there a Dodge/Plymouth paint code that would come close to that shade of blue?

KB5 Lucerne Blue Metallic maybe? Seems a bit to dark for KB1 Powder Blue. If the car has custom paint, these two codes are useless, of course.

It could be custom paint, it was just a rendering I found online but if I can just come close with those codes you provided I'll be content!
 
Looks like a factory color that was tweaked a little and some pearl added.
I like the look.
 
I have a 74 paint chip card at home, I'll dig it up tonight and see what blues are on there. From a Bluesmobile to a blue-mobile eh?
 
Gotta admit, though I have nothing against the Bluesmobile, I’d much prefer to see a few less Bluesmobiles and a few more Murph and the Magic Tones Cadillacs.
