Now that's a real Road Runner...Mee-Meep !!!
You don't go to an auction to get a bargain though.
These auctions are asking stupid money for cars that look good on the block but aren't restored all that well.
I don't want to sound like a know it all prick, but Plymouth called the EV2 color "Tor Red". : ]

Yes ... you really have to do your homework for sure! There were a few bargains I saw sell, but often the bidding was $10-20K under what they should have sold for and thus didn't make reserve. I think outside of the very top end cars ... the bids were way down. You're probably right on the color. I just copied the auction list.
