Either way I can’t imagine not getting this color just more curiosity from you pros
One thing is for sure. Somebody will like it. Nothing goes out of style with everybody. Remember that great piece of engineering called the Aztec? There are people looking to buy one right now. There will always be someone who still like that color, no matter how old it gets. It will just be a matter of finding the right person, which usually means it will take a while longer time to sell it than a more popular color. I would get it if that’s the color I like.

I dont think this will turn off many buyers

Be more mindful of the color of the interior, rather than exterior color, a wrong interior choice will turn a buyer away.

I dont think it will be hard to sell at all. Its the color i plan on on getting. Im in my late thirties and everyone around my age and younger absolutely love the color and think it makes it look like an exotic car 5x the price. Everyone i show who is about 45+ think it’s “too much.” But generally it’s the older ones who buy new corvettes and the younger ones who buy them used since they are more affordable.

so when it comes time to sell it used, who knows might even command a premium since so few were actually built.

i was actually dead set on torch red and pretty much hate blue on sports cars, but when I saw THIS blue, i just had to have it.
