looks to me like the thing has been in an accident by the right front corner lines appearing to be way off.
probably got a nice settlement and just redid the whole thing. i would have liked to see it in a coupe.......and yes, to me it appears to be the color that was available on the '99-'00 camaro. a buddy of mine has an SS in that color. very sharp car.
does anyone on here have any of those really rare color options that have been stated above? pics?

I like it. I've always wanted an orange car. I've got a picture of an orange early C4 coupe in my garage. It looks sharp.

I don't like that pastel color. Looks like pumpkin ****.
There's a bright orange C4 in SoCal, he bought it from a forum member. I remember passing him on I-5, nice looking vette.

Had my 64 painted Orange-I had so many people tell me it looked great-
it was a very good feeling, and I sure miss it.Every once in awhile someone will tell me my Ruby 87 looks great-but not as often.

Back around '89 or '90 a friend from the GM Tech center showed me pictures of a C4 convertible with a hardtop painted orange. The guys at the tech center stuffed a big block in it and had ZR2 badges on it. Too bad it never made it past that stage.
