Red cars

[dporsche74]

It the 80's and 90's .... Folks were just straight up embarrassed to pull up in a viper green /tangerine/sepia 911. sad but true..
with all the red 3.2 Carrera's zooming around with those ugly accordion bumperss lol..
The times have done a 180... Red and Blacks are the i guess so colors and everyone wants those awesome 1970s colors now..

I guess I'm in it for the long haul.
I'll be sittin pretty in the '30's.

Discouraging so far. Is red the new Sepia?

[Bummler]

Frank, I really think you're onto something...

I've been following later 80's SC/Carreras and some very nice low mileage examples, Guards Red of course, have languished at what I thought were fair prices.

Go figure?

2030 lol
A Red Carrera is like a red 308 Ferrari .. it feels chessey nowadays almost embarrassing lol
.. maybe the shorthood with catch on one day.. kinda low production numbers...still havent seen any short nose horders yet?????????

Frank,
I can't put my finger on exactly what is influencing my thinking, but I am seriously considering repainting my Signal Red '65 in a colour other than red.
I have a friend with a Polo Red example which is a beautiful car however unlike curtisaa, I am classing them together.

As I started searching for an early 11 I told to myself absolutely
no red, black or silver or metallic paint. For me the signal colors epitomizes the
70's cars (especially 70-73) as much as the
guards red is for the '80s whale tail/tea tray
G series cars.

A car is only as good as it's bones. I'm not buying it for the next guy. Color blind by choice.

Hyperbole, right?

You wouldn't dare.

Agreed, subscribed, and on board.

I drive , buy, and keep the ones I like, with the color near to or at the bottom of the list.

Fashion comes and goes.

I even saved my "Earth Shoes" I was married in. Don't wear them everyday, in fact I don't think I have even put them on since 1976 , but they aren't going anywhere soon.

Maybe I'll request I be buried in 'em......

( some may even say they are a bit Sepia toned )
