    If we were moved I'd be on that. Would it fit in a 20' garage?
    I love red but agree too much red. Either the enterior should be black or the outside needs some contrasting color. Altho I do like the all red exterior. Just not hog blood red!
    Still I question why if it is low mileage why did it need a repaint and uphostery?
    Using another member's double talk I like it but don't!:biglaugh:

    I'm betting this was used as a taxi..........
    Well, says only 68k miles. I'd be real suspicious about this one.

    Here's a tip - if you're restoring a car to re-sell don't do the body and interior like this. :coco:

    More pictures might help. I'd guess the engine covers and things are bright red too!
    If this really is low mileage it's a good buy no matter what color it is.

    I'd paint the wheels red and hang red fuzzy dice from the mirror!

    That is exactly why the manufacturers used multiple shades of red when putting bright red inside a car. My 79 Cordoba was black with bright red leather and had 3 different shades of red inside. I think 70 Challengers and Cudas came with a 1-shade bright red interior and you really don't see many around like that.
