color who cares about the stinking color... all I saw was the important stuff.

Funny story about what we notice...
Wife and I came home from being over with 3 other couples and wife says something about a dress one of the other women had on... I had no clue, she said I didn't pay attention to anything around me and that the women had talked about it etc...
I then proceeded to ask her about what she thought about the new Paxton on one of the guys Mustang Cobra, to which she replied what are you talking about no one ever said anything about a car, even when I reminded her that she stood there as it was pointed out to her she had no recollection. Blinders... Blinders

I think the important stuff is the history. Red was never offered by Fred. Lets keep it correct.

&quot;Yeah honey I didn't notice the dress was blue, had a bare back, was slit up the side, cut down low in the front, and that those 4&quot; heels made her legs look like those of a thoroughbred&quot;............ Nope didn't notice the packaging,just the important stuff! I just had to add a little to this story. Though the important stuff here is that I didn't know that Gibb never had a red ZL1 when all of his race cars were red over the years. Thank you guys for the info! Still a lot for this old retired fart has to learn.

I too thought the same thing. It was Annie who told me something was amiss as Gibb never did a Garnet Red ZL1. That was a little embarrassing...........

Rick, you noticed my first post was edited about red ones. I had to change it. I posted at first there were no red ones. Cumby got me correct on that. I know how that feels.

But correct about no Red Gibb ZL1's. Just embarrassing when a 'girl' tells me there was no Red Gibb cars. I should know that! Ohhhhhh, thats gonna hurt!
