Default '86 Copper Metallic code 66

Has anyone ever seen one of the 4 produced? Anybody have any pictures of one? I just recieved my '86 dealer brochure awith a color chart and it seems like a very awesome color. I just repainted to top half of my silver beige '86 and it didn't turn out as good as I hoped(I did everything myself and it was my first time).

Anyway, I am thinking of changing the color to this beautiful copper metallic but I want to see some pics first..............thanks

never saw the color in person, but years ago, i did see a car ad for a copper 86, from a used car dealer in the cleveland ohio area. as i recall, i cut the ad out and taped in in my black book. i have numerous copies of the BB - might still have the ad. i did see a couple early C4 copper color corvettes (86-88-???) at carlisle a couple times - , a stunning color.
