Seems like someone here was looking for one recently. Make your way over to Las Vegas Craigslist.
I can travel to do a test drive and take pics if you are a serious buyer.

Hi Ron it would be interesting if this is one of 116 made but in my opinion it don't look right starting with the price? Jay

Out here in the West the cars seem to get a lot of sun fade. Faded paint/clear coat and a decent repaint could make these copper cars expensive.
The up side is that you probably won't seen another one at your next cruise in.

To me a copper would only be valuable, or rather more valuable than any other, IF the paint were still factory original and absolutely perfect. Of course it would also require all documentation.

Therefore, in my opinion, a faded or repainted copper is just about worthless as a collector car as the rarity of the factory paint job with factory imperfections is what has made it rare and collectible to begin with. It would be like having the first ZR1 with an L98 installed.

My opinion. differs it took me about 3 years to find my copper convertible and I could have bought blue,red,black,white 94s every day but I was looking for copper so the availability of the color does mean you are going to pay more for one if you do find one I think this one is priced very good but the seller is not responding to questions?
