That color always seems to look great on cars, esp with tan interior..

Always loved the stance of this car. This Vette was sold by a previous forum member but not sure if the new owner is a member or not.

Not an original color for my '71, but original owner painted this (reportedly) Lincoln color over the original white, supposedly about 25 years ago:



I alternate each Summer between the Rally wheels and the PO2's:





I always get compliments on the color and the paint-job, though I've seen all the little flaws from polishing it. I still love it, and wouldn't ever go back to stock.

Default How about a Crystal Red Metallic entry?

Love the Maroon/Dark Claret/Drimson colors.

Ever since I saw the first Crystal Red Metallic Vette in 2008, I have wanted to paint mine the color.

Well, This year, Josh at Custom Image Corvettes did me the favor.

Hope you like it, because I sure do!
Here she is in the garage


And here she is at the Vettes at the Village car show in Destin, with my neice "guarding" her.

This is my '71 LT1 car with a custom color from about 15 years ago +. It is some sort of maroon / dark red with a lot of metalflake. Original car color was Bridgehampton Blue.
