Rick, I don't think you have one of these yet. I'm pretty sure it's Orient Red. Sounds like it needs a little TLC, but that color is hard to find. Stop by on your way and I can give you a deal on an almost new top (plastic window).

Incomplete collection?
Etc...

I'll bet you a dollar that color is Zanzibar Red, aka Tomato Soup Red, and its an absolutely stunning color. But either Orient Red or Zanzibar Red, they're one of the few colors I don't have that I'd really like. Dammit Jon! Now you have my gears turning... It'd just take a few minutes to call him, ask about the car and get a color code... and it's project car price, and I can get to Nixa in about 5 hours, and it's just south of Springfeild, and I have a little honey of a nurse I know in Springfield, and... and... and...

Stand by...

Zanzibar! Yes, I'm bad at guessing those rare colors. All my cars are Silver/Grey, Black and White. The neighbors might notice how many cars I have in the driveway and complain if I had the bright colors.

WOW, someone is VERY optimistic. My 14 CS has a clean title, no accidents, and is $16000 less. Please put down the crack pipe.

And yours doesn't include "some assembly required". This one has been on PCA and Craigslist and has a lot of track goodies installed and hasn't moved. Someone will get a great deal on yours!
