Default 1977 Paint Code 80, Tan

Hey Guys-

Upon further pondering on what color to paint my car I'm coming back around to painting it back the original Tan color. Problem is I dont see many cars this color or with some aftermorket wheels, they all seem to be exact restorations.

I like the mundane color becuase I'm going to build a 400-500 horse small block for it and I think it would be a great sleeper color for the shock value.

Just posting here to get opinions and hopefully some pics of tan Corvettes.

Thanks,
Josh

hey Josh I'm new here so forgive me if I am doing this wrong but my brother recently passed away and I was willed his 1977 corvette which is tan just like yours although he was T-bone a few years back and instead of getting it painted he put all that money and then some into the motor it has about 600-650hp currently I believe it is a 388 not 383 but 388ci new suspension but he never got around to changing the lame transmission looks rough but Damm what a SLEEPER!!! I'll try to upload some pictures and videos
