Default please post a pic of a Maraschino Red and Velvet red car

I havent seen the Maraschino Red coulor before. I have seen a turbo 1988 car for sale, but without pics.

Sorry can't find a pic of Maraschino (VERY rare IIRC) but here's Velvet Red:



As for the Linen, there's no red but there is a Linen Grey:



Maraschino is darker than Velvet as I recall. Someone on this board must have one...

Wha??!! You mean 51 Turbo S's ? Not 51 for all of '88, right? My project car (88 S (not turbo)) is Maraschino Red, but needs lots of help, paint-wise.

On the post, the color looks more purple than in person. Everyone that's commeted on the color says it look Maroon. I've got more pictures posted on my web site. www.rockmechanic.com

Yes, I am speaking only of the Turbo S. I don't know for all 944's.
