All 3 of my resto-mods are Viper red. I like the color, and it makes it easy to touch up, since I only have to stock one paint in the shop!
This is the second restomod car that I built, about 13 years ago. Viper red....

The RED on the 65 is outstanding in the photographs and is what I am looking for... please confirm if that is VICTORY or CRYSTAL.
My next step is to get 2 panels painted up, 1 with Viper Red, the other with what you have on the 65 so I can see it indoors and in the sunlight.
Great pictures!!! THANKS

I had a garage art 427 hood taped down the center with one half painted victory and the other half torch before making my final decision. I liked having them right next to each other and the hood was small enough I could take with me and see in all different types of lighting.

Torch Red
I do like being able to get touch up paint, brush or rattle can just about any parts store. So to me that is a plus.

IMO, he should have stuck with a "stock" red color. That red mixture does not look nice.

A friend did the restoration on this car in the early part of the last decade for a customer. After completing the car (which ended up taking about 5 years for a number of reasons) the customer decided to sell it and get his money out after putting only about 500 miles on it. It was sold in 2007 at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach. Originally white, the customer wanted it Torch Red. When it was done I thought it looked spectacular...
"This Corvette Stingray Coupe has matching numbers. It was production #3544. It is one of 2,021 sold with a powerglide and factory air. We had a complete frame off restoration done. It has less than 500 miles on total restoration. The car was originally white; we had it painted Torch red. Car is brand new bumper to bumper. It has redline tires with rally rims. It took over 3 years to be restored professionally. Options: leather seats, power windows, air conditioning, power brakes, teakwood steering wheel, telescopic steering column, and power steering."

Yes, 65 is victory.
I had a garage art 427 hood taped down the center with one half painted victory and the other half torch before making my final decision. I liked having them right next to each other and the hood was small enough I could take with me and see in all different types of lighting.
