Awhile back I had a Warbonnet 71 vert with saddle interior and a black top. One of the classiest looking Vettes I've ever owned.

I hate yellow on cars. But thats obviously my own opinion.

Blue, Red, green all are better than yellow.

Re: Anyone Like War Bonnet Yellow? (corvettemaster)

The coolest color, IMHO. :yesnod: It's a shame that a very similar color is now used on PT Cruisers and some other new cars--it lost its uniqueness! Now someone may ask why you used a PT Cruiser color on your Vette... :jester

I almost bought a 71 LT-1 painted WBY. I loved it. You won't be disappointed if you choose it.

I agree, it is one of my favorites too. :D And I have also seen many new Honda Civics in a similar color. Kind of cool, but looks better on the vette.

Re: Anyone Like War Bonnet Yellow? (OHSIXX)

Mine often gets confused with warbonnet yellow (yellow mettalic 73 only color), warbonnet is a tad more gold though. I do like it though, I wasn't crazy about either color at first but they grew on me till the point that I prefer it, I can't tell you how many people love the color on mine at car shows but it's one of those colors I think you either love or hate, and I think warbonnet is the same way.

Nothing says the 70's like Warbonnet Yellow and Ontario Orange.
Here's a pic of my 71.

Re: Anyone Like War Bonnet Yellow? (OHSIXX)

My car was originally Riverside Gold (a 1969 only color) very,very similar to Warbonnet Yellow, I wish it was still Riverside Gold. If I ever buy a '71, I'll certainly look for a Warbonnet Yellow BB convertible.
