Or the yellow on 74-76 vettes, some called it Capri or competition yellow best looking ever. Yellow is like white, nail the shade it pops otherwise

Wish they would broaden thier spectrum and bring back some older colors or god forbid more metallic it does wonders for bodylines. Dare I say a hint of pearl

Thought it looked gold but I am sometimes color blind. I love that color.

That's War Bonnet yellow. It's a C3 color for 71-74 (I believe).

I loved so many of the old colors. The metallic golds, butterscotch or whatever they called it. Even a pumpkin color Vette that was available in the early to mid 70’s. My all time favorite was a light blue metallic that was featured on many different Chevy models from about 63 to maybe 1970. Wish GM would bring some of them back, along with some blue or tan interiors.

My Mom had an 80 Buick Regal in almost that same shade of gold while I was growing up. She loved that color, but not sure how well it would translate to a modern Vette.

$6,100 in the year 1973 is equivalent in purchasing power to $34,053.80 in 2018, a difference of $27,953.80 over 45 years
