Looks like the factory painting the 1978 Indy pace cars. No robots in those days.

 

[Nassau65]

They came out pretty good tho

Never seen this pic before so very interesting as my 81 should be two tone !!!!

What paint did they use at the factory ?

 

[maxuk15]

80/91 Dark Claret/Autumn Red if I remember correctly

I should of said what type of paint system ie polyurethane cellulose 2 pack used in the factory.

Unsure T, but this is what mine should look like !!!!!

Was never a fan of the two tone colour scheme except on the 78 pace car back in the day, but now I like them.

The two tone red looks really classy - love it!

Just found some pictures of the 1981 model in factory two tone colours

Have to agree with Mr Rosco, the red looks classy.

You still see a lot of the vanilla two tone in FL

Like the Red two Tone , especially with that lining out .

This two tone lives not far from me , the blue is a quite unusual sort of pearlescent swirly sort of effect . It turns up at local shows .

Reminds me of something I perhaps might have sucked at one time.......a Humbug!

I know the 1982 collector edition was never really a two tone corvette, but those side decals certainly gave it a “look” all its own.
And of course those beautiful wheels based on the 1967 “bolt on “ design certainly made it special along with its opening rear hatch.
Many will argue the only thing that let it down was it’s motor. The 350 cross fire. But that was the motor at the time.
Me, I love it.
