Default Just Acquired Red Raspberry Metallic
So a dealer up North put this in as RED... so of course I called and said what Red, Guards Red, Coral Red or is it PINK... guy said you know that damn thing is PINK. So of course I bought it sight unseen.

We had a 93 coupe, tip, RRM with Black interior and it was lost in a fire at my mechanics within 24 hours of us taking delivery... so for 5 years I have been looking.

Car has 41k miles, and it is tight.. I have been through it mechanically and corrected and serviced every little issue...

And here are the mandatory pics... Thanks to Jeffery Coe for all the help...

I had Turbax take the wheels and redo them, the color coding really rocks... you can't go to far with that color.

Jeff Coe tells me one of six in 93, and I had a coupe this color but it was lost in a fire.... we have been on the look out for 5 plus years...

Clean doesn't cover it, I took 5 days of details it is clean enough to eat off.. .LOL

And Cup 1's were available from the factory painted in that manner. Great, great color.

You need to find out if that is the one used in Beverly Hills Cop 3.

I bet your wife likes it.. As its a real girly colour......
Not my "cup of tea" im afraid, but if it floats your boat....
It certainly looks a clean car. I just hope the mechanicals are as good as the body...
