Copper Metallic sighting

There is a guy in my area that I have recently seen driving what appears to be a 86 or 87 copper metallic.The car has the third brakelight,but I was unable to get a look at the wheels to see if it was an 86/87.I'm planning on stopping by the guys house when he has it out to find out if it is a real one or a repaint.It is a killer looking color in person. :)

There were only 4 Copper Metallics in 1986 and 87 in 1987, so if it's the original color, then that would be :cool:

A local business acquintence recently sold his 1 of 87 1987 Copper Coupes to finish his custom Harley FatBoy. I bummed. It was a sweet car. It did have one section that needed repair though. Wonder what it would have been like to match the paint.

It is quite possible that it is real.In the past I have seen a T-Bucket with a blown smallblock, a 427 Cobra replica,a C-3, a Model A ,parked in his garage and driveway.The owner seems like car collector.

I saw one for sale at a local dealer last summer. I saw it in person, not on their website. VERY COOL COLOR!

Re: Copper Metallic sighting (tsquare)

about 5 years ago, i saw an ad for an '86 copper metallic coupe (1 of 4) at an independent used car dealer somewhere between akron and cleveland ohio. as i remember, it had 36K miles and the asking price was $12995. i cut out the ad and taped it inside my black book. i'll scan and repost -
