Viper Yellow according to previous owner's description of it.

Oh, the picture doesn't lie, I enjoy driving.

One thing to keep in mind, is that picture was taken by my mom's camera, not mine, which picks up colours jsut a little bit differently. Yellow's look much better on her's then they do in RL. my camera does the oppisite, makin them look blueer or greener then they realy are.

These are taken with my camera.






This one has the brightness and contrast messed with, to bring out the colour of the car a little better.


You cannot realy just go by a picture on the internet, as some camera's pick up different colour ranges better. My mom's makes colours realy kick, where as mine does the higher frequency colours better then the lower.

Ths is the car driving up for the first time, where the picture you took was posted.

my hesistation when backin up, was caused by not being familiar with the diferent steering wheel from my '85, wasn't quite sure where straight was at first. The missing tailight was fixed the next evening when I found out about it. I didn't realsie what was keeping me up until clsoe to midnight, but I couldn't go to sleep that first night with it parked there, I wanted to drive! (got to sleep sometime after 3AM). Car is loud

The car does look good, but due to being a repaint, catch the light right, and the black underneeth will change the colour of the yellow if you look at from the right angle's relative to the light source and surface of the vehichle.

Here's a picture that might show the colour better.



If I find a picture that gets the colour the eye's see better, I'll post it. You can obviously see though that different camera's pick up things differently! Not to mention time of day. After noon in the shad will show more blue, but evening light is more suited to this car, the last picture with the aluminum part set on it(very gently), was taken in the evening in the shade.
