While Copper is a rare color on these cars,95 I think,the color im talking about was a bright tangerine orange..At first I thought this was a repaint but not too long after seeing this car I saw another one.One was a coupe the other a ragtop.Ive only seen these two cars and not one since.I think it was 89-90.

There was a small number (5 or 8 maybe) of Orange promo cars built that were never sold to the public somewhere around 88.
