That looks like a super paint job. Are Bahia and Polo red generally the same color but from different years? Thought I'd read that in a previous thread?

Bahia and India Red the same, Polo totally different.

uhhh... no.
Bahia Red and India Red two totally different colors.

Super nice but agree regarding the color change. Hell, I bought a red '73 that was originally PINK! When I restored it, it went back to pink & have to say, it looked damn good!.. Also regarding this car, the front bumper has S trim while the side & rear bumper have standard trim. I think at this asking price, it should all match..
PS.. "Retail Red" now that's funny!

uhhh... no.

Really? I heard they were one and the same, different years....Learn something new everyday...

Although the color has been changed there is still huge intrinsic value to the fact that it is an original Pastel Blue car. At least a future owner can go back to that color. The other 99% of us who wish we could paint our cars that color can't (won't) because it's not on our CoA.

Never really thought about it that way. Good point. Of course that makes it a 70k car after rectifying that "little" issue. OK for a long term owner, but probably not acceptable to a flipper. Maybe that's the saving grace.

1967 Polo Red 6601 012
1968-69 Polo Red 6802 012
1970-73 Bahia Red 1310/1313 022 (1310 Targa, 1313 Coupe)

Don't see India Red in my books or manuals so far..but at least Bahia Red was a correct 1970 colour.

EDIT : India Red 027 from 1974- Found it in Group 8 of the Factory Manual.

Now that they worked you over...How firm are you??

Discount from top price would be cost of taking car back to rare desirable
color. 12m to 15m for good paint job.

Agree with this. If I ever consider a color-changed car, it has to be a poorly-done change retaining the original color in the front trunk. Changing back a color changed front trunk is about +$2K and telegraphs 'repaint.'

Chasing out all the bad color (often 'resale red' or 'hipster black') is a pain.

Oh, and replacing Pastel Blue with red should be a felony.

* Note: I make exceptions for Sepia. Possibly the only color that is a negative hit on value IMO. Of course that increases the likelihood it will come back in style like Viper, Tangerine and Signal Yellow eventually did.

Watch it guys... I'll measure mine against yours anytime!!
