Red and black I would think. They are still the most desirable colors to have on the C3's and other cars from the 60's and 70's.

Red is always in demand. GM really screwed up when they got rid of TR. It was one of the best colors of all time and now Ford has stolen it for the Rustang. Dumb A$$'s.

I would hope pewter would be up there. But, torch red, mag red and electron blue would be my prohibitive picks.

I wanted to buy a very deep purple but it wasn't available so I bought Nassau Blue.

GM built 1 purple and gave it away at the NCM. I didn't win.
