94 Copper Vette!
We were driving up Highway 27 in Central FL when we saw a 1994 Copper C4 for sale.
It was located on the southbound side, somewhere between I4 and Lake Wales... I think it's actually just south of Haynes City.
I know how rare these are, and if I had the time, I would have done more investigating. But I had to share it's existance with you all.
It looked very clean. It is a coupe... this is all I know.

I have seen a couple... that was only the 2nd. The first was at Carlilse a couple years back.
They are rare... what? 115 made? Something like that.
It really did shine, tho... I mean... it SHINED.

I have seen two here in Austin.
One has a Greenwood kit and is very nice
the other is just stock no changes. The Greenwood is a daily driver and I see it on I-35 everyday at 4:00 PM.
Pretty cool

I saw two coupes and a vert new in Phoenix back in 1994 when they came out. The reason these are so rare is they could not get the colour to be consistant from panel to panel. I looked at a brand new coupe and NONE of the panels matched. Too bad because it was nice colour and looked good on the C4's body.
They had the same problem with Aztec gold on the C5 in 1998 and there are even less of those running around. The 50th anniversary car was not gold because of panel matching.

Not to threadjack Andy's topic (too much), but why is it so hard to get colors to match, panel to panel? I can understand urethane bumpers to body panels (they're painted completely separately, I think).

Here's a very accurate picture of the Copper Metallic. By the way, I'm the one who posted about one of these that was for sale recently. It did sell and is on its way to Rogers Corvettes in Orlando.
