Yeah, though I realized I haven't really taken any since I had it brought up from Oklahoma. These are the ones I have from when I bought it:

Those harsh shop lights make the color on it look a little off. The best representation I could find for it's real color is that rear shot. It's obviously a bright red but it has a real faint gold flake in the red as well that you only notice under sunlight and it makes that red pop like crazy. Then the silver stripes have a more prominent metallic in them but again, it's crazy brilliant in the sunlight.
It's a fun car; more of a 10 foot restore than anything. If you get really close you can start to see things here and there that make it not truly show quality but nobody ever really notices them unless I point them out. It's a quality restore and it has poly body mounts in there so I'm pretty sure it was a frame-off restore, though probably not a full rotisserie job.
Ultimately, it's nice enough that I'm not embarrassed taking it to local car shows but I know I won't win. It also has enough imperfections that I'll drive it whenever I feel so inclined without worrying about rubbing it with a diaper when I get home.
