Default The "RESALE RED" Poll..... Let's See Just How Many Red Vetts Are Here

A post was made about what color to paint a vette.....Other then RED :banghead: This sparked the Question ..Whats wrong with red??
So let's see how many red vetts are here.

If your color is not here post it and vote for your color.

Mark,

I just responded to the other thread on colors other than red and saw your new poll. You've made it easy by asking what color your car is rather than which you like best - oops, that might be a poll in another thread........ :yesnod:

I voted Red because we're in C1 & C2 Discussion. If we were in C5 Discussion, I'd vote Black! :lol:

I haven't seen too many vettes that I didn't like regardless of color but I must admit I'm partial to RED. I think that's one of the hardest decisions to make (choosing a color) when restoring a Corvette.

My 65 Coupe is Silver, it's not the best looking color on a mid year car. A mid year car should be a bright color.

Mines red, but the next repaint will be black. A black C2 coupe just looks "bad". :reddevil

I have to agree with Brutal64.

If I have a chance to buy another midyear, I want a Black one with a '65 Big Block hood and Side Pipes.

Thankfully, no red in the stable here (except a 66 Cutlass conv)...
'02 - Electron Blue
'66 vert - Nassau Blue
'66 cpe - Mosport Green
It's a shame I couldn't vote 3 times... :D

RED< I have had Blue, Black Silver, and of COURSE YELLOW on C5's but

RED on MID YEAR, of course I partial to RED and YELLOW.

All Corvettes are RED, but some develop their own style. :seeya

Both my C1 and C2 are red. Neither was a factory red car, but if they were the factory colors, I'd have to paint them red.

Haven't you heard? "All Corvettes are RED"! :D

I had to add my own choic as well :jester

ALL (our) CORVETTES ARE RED :steering:

(BTW, that's the license plate on the 97 C5 - "AC AR" - especially since the original owner of this particular car was Jim Schefter, the gent who wrote the book! :D

Not only is mine red, but the interior is red as well. Kinda like a pimp mobile.

Voted red, but my 66 secretly desires to be black with a red interior. :yesnod:

You mean there were other colors I could have painted it? Why would I want to do that? ;)
