Bodyshop just sent me some pics tonight. Got some color on her today! This is the barn find I bought a few years ago.The car had been sitting in primer since about 1991, and hasn't run since 1975. Next they will refresh the Saddle interior parts that are painted. I'm making strides on getting the chassis done since I semi-retired just before Christmas, so I'm getting pretty pumped now.
There are two times when you love black paint one when it’s fresh paint and second right after it’s been detailed. But black on saddle is a great combo
My car is a true candy apple red which is really nice, but when I first bought the car in 1996 as a early 20's punk kid i didn't know much about decoding a trim tag, & for some reason I got the idea that it was originally a black car & I was all excited about having it brought back to its original color.
Anyway, I eventually got all the "Corvette by the numbers" books and realized it was originally red... confirmed after joining this site in 2005.
I'm not much of a fan of red personally, so I just let it be, but i gotta say, that black looks outstanding!!

Not sure what year it was but I rode home from Corvette Expo auction in a black/tan ‘67 42/390 with factory A/C automatic.

That's only because black looks so bad covered in dirt that on average black Corvettes are the cleanest midyears, therefore, lighter, therefore more HP per ton, therefore faster.
