Check sticker in driver door jamb or rear deck.
Maybe 895 Weinrot red ?

That is the German word for Ruby. Odd the site says 84 model year only. Whats the VIN? You may want to verify yaer. Would not be the first time the DMV got the model year wrong on the title.

Cool...you should contact the hoster of the paint site and let them know you have a 83 with that color.

Ruby Red was the color for '83-'84- changed to Garnet for '85 & '86- before that it was Wine Red which was several shades lighter.
