Not so much on a special paint car where the body color was close to the primer color.

Oh and I did not originally introduce the photos of the &quot;purplish&quot; color primer on the Hugger Orange car. Just mentioned them again because they seemed to be ignored at first and I felt they were pertinent.

Think about it...and what the preponderance of the evidence showed on the car itself.

It's a special paint car no doubt - so how much does that add value to the car? Hard to say. It may still be a one of one - but Flamingo Silver / Sunset Silver - instead of that other color that keeps getting brought up.

Flamingo Silver / Sunset Silver shows up darker or has more of a purplish tint in some paint chip books (I have more than one book) so I can see how there may have been a misunderstanding.

There is no way to go back and look at the car now to see.

Bryon,

I find it odd that you chose to lock the thread on the CRG site but find the need to continue to post about it here. To me the background on why Clem ordered the car E O is interesting but that where it ends.

Color is all about personal taste, and for me this car holds no additional value. Someone else may feel different but again it's all about preference in color.

If you continue to post on this thread I think it only appropriate to unlock the CRG thread.

I believe there is enough day one information from the original owner, dealer and those familiar with the car to validate the color it was originally ordered. </div></div>

There is not enough paper documentation for me to say what the color truly was.

The thread there was locked because I felt there was some &quot;bashing&quot; going on and headed in a direction that was not productive. A prior thread had some &quot;bashing&quot; in it too and that was locked, not by me. I guess my tolerance level for that is low. I also felt that the original post was more of an &quot;advertisement&quot; for the car coming up for auction. The thread may open up again at some point, but that is not my call.

I have been very civil but can't say that for all of the posts in this thread. An alternate solution between Evening Orchid and Cortez Silver was suggested - which is what I believe the color was. I have an open mind, but it is an opinion. Everyone can have an opinion.

It's no big deal to me. This will be my last post in this thread. But I am not just Joe Blow off the street.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but &quot;if it doesn't fit, you must acquit&quot;. lol
