I just looked at that picture again, and it is cool. However, to my eyes, it does look like it has been blended from the middle of the door into the front leading edge of the rear 1/4. It doesn't appear as Cortez Silver OR Evening Orchid in this picture. I'm thinking back to what I said about the front clip not matching.... Could it have been blended as an attempt to make it match the rest of the car? Could it be that the "Special Paint" was applied in a manner that didn't cover as much as a normally painted car? Could it be that when William and Jerry looked at the car, the early repaint hid the "Special Paint" and what they saw might have been a primer that is known to cast a "silverish appearance? What if the line tried the "Silver Firemist" ( or whatever it was called) in an attempt to "appear" as the requested Evening Orchid? What if all of, or a combination of all of these possible scenarios occurred? I try to look at things rationally and in this case that is almost impossible due to the time that has passed since the car was originally painted, and then repainted and then appraised/ documented. I can't see why Clem and the dealer's representative would fabricate such a story (don't believe it WAS A FABRICATION), but with all the factors involved I really can't say if anyone is 100% right or wrong, or if any one person is maliciously telling an untruth to uphold a reputation. BIG is right that most of us would kill for the paperwork that has surfaced, but NONE of us would want the possible degrading of our car that could be associated with this car. I'm certainly not a buyer for this car, even if it wore the original paint, I don't think it is a $200,000.00 car. It is truly a shame it was ever repainted. Where is that window sticker?
