I think it's actually a red orange, different pics show it to be more orange while others are red, but I'm not sure if that's just the camera or not until I see it in person and give it a wash.

I'm probably going to swap out the shifter on it, 16inches makes it a little too tall.

On a good note, now I can replace the Colt fender badges with "Galant 1600" ones, because it's a 1600 car, wouldn't be right if I did it to the 77 which is a factory 2.0l. :roll:

I asked about the color, it's Red, but faded to orange lol, because according to the color code (which I didn't think to ask specifically for) it's a crimson red color.

Also, no mistake it's the replacement to the '77, body is in much better shape (some surface rust, but no cancer), Don't worry Dave, I'll be swapping my Enkei 92s onto it :thumpsup:.

Paint code is 055 which is bright red, but it's faded to an orange lol.

Tore out the carpet, colt sidestep plates, dash, gauge cluster, bezel, harness, booster to get the harness out lol, radiator, hatch trim, tails, and heater as well as the pedals.

The more I take it apart the more rot I find....smh, it's creeping onto the floor on the right front passenger side all down to the nose is rusted out.

Glad i did get a new wagz.
