In 1962 Tangier Shrine Corvette Patrol got approval through Chevrolet COPO program to paint there 1962 Corvettes a Cadillac color called Royal Heather Amethyst. Similar to Iris Mist or Evening Orchard.

Tracker1, that's the car, the exact interior color and all.....cool.

I really don't mind the color, but as some of you who have seen my Camaro, that I don't shy away from bright colors doesn't come as a surprise. I think it pairs better with the early-mid 60's cars like that Corvette above, the Impala and '65 GTO better than the '69 Camaro Z.

That said, I really, truly wish the public would start buying more cars that aren't silver/black or white. Sheesh people, have some individuality, and don't get me started on the whole black wheel thing...

the fact that it got to 170 and it took 200k to buy it is astounding

Mecum site says the bid goes on at 160K as the final bid.

[watk69]

true Charlie, still astonishing though

If the bids were real then the hobby just passed judgement on the pedigree issues with the car that have been raised on other forums.

I don't recall "the hobby" being present when Jerry & I spent two hours examining this car before it was restored.

I gave my old '70 Nova to my Dad, and when he restored / modifed it, he chose to paint it 1965 Evening Orchid. Sharp eyed observers will also note that we did something a little different with the hood too. Also changed the large 70-72 marker lights to something &quot;period&quot;, but a little cleaner (hint: think '69 Chevy product) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Now, this car in the year 1962....is nice....
A deeper pigment . .
Still, its an era color....out of vogue in '69
