It's GM Victory Red which can be very red in bright sunlight. Here's a couple photos I took later when the sun was at more of an angle.
My ZR1 is also Victory Red and identical in the same light. The back half of the car is mostly shaded and really changes the color.

I've had people hang out of their car windows to snap photos of my ZR1 at stop lights. The C2 is mostly older guys with a story about some car they owned years ago.
Really, I don't drive either one very far. Added together they don't have 1K on the odometer.

so what color are you considering
Nice chassis and looks like a super resto job....so what color is the 67 going to be?....and I see aluminum heads are the L-89's or something else....at any rate frame is looking like soon the body will be back on....will you paint w/ body on or off

Since the body on the dolly doesn't fit under the lift, this is the only way to use just one space for car. Besides it makes it a lot easier to slip the motor in...

Still haven't made a decision on the color. Perhaps daytona blue with red stinger and red interior.
