I am going to paint my 73 soon and I can't make my mind up on what color, it's down to Torch Red or Orange. What do you think? POST PICTURES OF YOURS IF YOU WILL, I would like to see them or any color if you want to post, I just like to see what your Vette look like
THANKS!!

You can't go wrong with a red Vette. But orange is different.

Here you go, I think it's called flame orange though. I defer to the more knowledgeable members.
