Orange is like alot of other corvette colors where you either like it or you don't! I almost never see another, esp in a BB car, so I love mine!

There are many red, black, or white vettes that used to be orange, yellow, green, corvette bronze, warbonnet yellow, etc. that IMHO are much more interesting colors when they are fresh and not old and faded.

Default 71 LS-5 in Ont Orange

I have a low mile 71 in Ont Orange. I don't like the color much. I bought the car as it had 41k miles. ..

I don't know how much longer its actually going to be that color, but its fun to drive it to Hooters

It is currently white, the original color with the dark saddle interior.

After seeing the pics of 71 SoCal's beauty, I can't wait to get her painted!!
My car was factory painted in orange - but none of that paint was left in view by the time I got it! The factory interior remains dark saddle. I think that dark saddle looks out of place with the orange. I repainted mine dark blue - and love it. Maybe would have wanted orange if I had a black interior...
