I saw one in the flesh at Southwest Corvette Center's showroom when they were still open. It belonged to the owner's daughter and was in perfect condition. This is an absoluletly gorgeous color.
Good luck on the sale

To prove this you will never find one in the Corvette Black Book or any production type referance book. They made a few pilot cars to test the paint I even saw the one that Bob Mc'Dorman has in his collection & that is where I learned the story. Copper Metallic was never offered to the public for sale other than 1994 they just ended up in private hands. Mostly to big money collectors like the McDorman.One of these cars would be the ultimate rare Copper.

I almost bought a 1994 vert in copper with black guts and top new in Phoenix, AZ. The reason I let it go then was none of the body panels matched in colour. Hindsight being 20/20 I would have overlooked that issue knowing what I know now.
FYI the Black Book (2009 edition) lists 87 code 66 copper produced for 1987 and 4 code 66 copper for 1986 and 5 pilot cars in code 66 dark orange for 1988.

Lucky you ,I stand correcetd to a point as I have never seen the 94 color on another year for production. The 94 seems to have more of a orange hue to it. I wish I would have kept mine oh here we go LoL

Trust me, you know how many people walk past it at shows and mudder "thats been re-shot..." Even had arguments with people at Carlisle that that isnt an original color. Gave up now some time ago. Ive only seen pics of one other convertible on the interenet and the 87 coupe that was recently for sale. Never seen another like it in person. There is/ was a Dark Red Metalliac 87 Callaway on eBay that they were advertising as the "Only" Orange Copper metalliac Callaway ever made. I asked him for the paint color code and never heard back, but you could clearly see from the pics it was much redder and much darker. Funny the only other vert I saw had the wood grain int. kit in it.

To the OP, best of luck on your sale. It should sell pretty quick.

Coupe & Convertible @ 20th Lone Star Corvette Classic
In May of 2009 at The 20th Lone Star Corvette Classic at Texas Motor Speedway, there was a "Copper" Coupe and a "Copper" Convertible side by side. Will Cooksey, Jr signed both cars and believe you me the cameras were popping. This was a rare event and to have Will there was way rare. I know both of the owners as fellow club members, and the Coupe owner is my Brother. What a Rare Sight, but if you look around the Dallas area you just may see them together.

I would really be interested in more information on your 1994 Copper Metallic Coupe. I will give you my e-mail address so we can get in touch.
I would really like to see some pictures and find out the mileage on the Vette.
Thanks, Eran
