1985 Dk Bronze
I have a 1985 Dk Bronze vette, less than 1100 ever made.
I have never seen another with this color.
Does anyone know of others?
I plan on putting this one in the car barn with my other Blk 85.
Just wondering if this is really a rare vette, the color is not
one of my top 100 vette colors but the paint job is a 9.5.

Not rare when the car was new. Light blue metallic was the least produced color in 1985 (by nine cars). I had a two tone bronze '85. It would be interesting to see how many '85's are still around.

I have a 85 vette (60,000 miles) with the two tone bronze - reason I bought the car 12 years ago - not many with that paint seemed to have survived and seem to becoming hard to find. See lots of blue, red, white etc. etc. but very seldom bronze or the two tone bronze, especially with leather seats.

My friend across the street has a 2 tone bronze `85 with the bronze interior. Its only got 39k on it. He is having no luck finding matching floor mats. Nice car though

I always like the single color Bronze C4's. They were quite different and classy. I like the Bronze interior as well. I think it would be a nice compliment to the Saddle interior if anyone wanted to do a 2 tone. Actually, its been on my mind to do exactly that. Saddle leather with Bronze carpets.

As I noted my 85 has the two tone bronze - lite on top dark on bottom as well as the bronze leather interior. Also came from the factory with bronze tint on all windows including the top - (noted on the original build sheet but with no code). Cannot find that as an option - but when I bought it from the first time buyer - he used to own a GM dealership and he ordered it direct as a showroom car - he must have had some pull with the factory.
