Default 1994 copper vettes

Greetings all. First time here on the forum. I saw a picture of a 1994 copper vette on the internet. I hadn't seen one before so I did a little research and learned only 116 of them were made due to paint issues but other than that I couldn't find anything else. Have these cars become collectors cars or do folks really not care for that color? Are there any for sale that you may know of? Lastly, any other info about the color would be greatly appreciated.

Due to the rarity of the color they may eventually command a premium. There are a few members on here that own Copper Metallic 'Vettes. I haven't seen any for sale recently, but search the major Corvette classified sites and I'm sure you'll come across one sooner or later.

There is a good reason why the stopped production on this color. Just look closely at the paint on the hood of this car. Supposedly there were problems with the paint, so they dropped the color.

I have seen one recently for sale ( In my venture to find the perfect c4 for a mere $8500. ). I think the price was descent but if I remember right the Mileage was on the high side . If i can find it again I'll post a link
