Paint Code for 70 240Z BLUE

I'm trying to match the original paint for the medium blue metallic on the 1970 240. I inquired at the BASF Auto paint supply shop and was told they could not match the original code. Any suggestions?

if you go to a good paint shop u can bring your gas door and they can match. they have basically guns that reads the paint and gives them what they need.

It's already been painted with an off-color blue but I found a good spot of the original color under the brake fluid door and I plan to take it with me. already got it off the car. the clerk told me she couldn't get a read of the gun unless we had a code to start out with. already a situation of lost trust, so I'm headed somewhere else.
