There's a pink '99 Z28 on ebay

Seller claims it's red, but my eyes say pink. If this is red, the seller need a new camera.

Neat to see. Hope a hot 6 foot tall blonde girl gets it and lowers it an inch and a half.







Of course, if I was a millionaire collecting a fleet of 4th gens, I'd get it, put some black wheels and black stripes on it and be a pimp and make my next million. The paint job looks to be top notch. I don't see any of the usual flaws of a repaint.

I emailed the seller and he said it's red. How disappointing. I thought it was cool. :-\

He added engine pictures and the car actually looks red.

Maybe it was in Barbie mode. I dunno. I don't know how the white balance could possibly be so far off that a camera would interpret red as pink. I can only imagine orange or a more purpley red.

I think if you dick around with hue settings in the camera or in post processing, it will turn red to pink. I imagine it had to be changed in-camera, because nobody would post process a red Camaro to a pink one.


Edit: Yes, I just turned a red Camaro into a pink one, and I also turned the Camaro featured in this thread back into a nice, shiny red one with nothing more than hue and saturation adjustment.

I noticed that car right away. Took me a while to decide it was red, when I saw it on ebay. Horrible pics of that poor car

I still wish it truly was pink. I'd rather see a pink one than a red one anyday. My area ONLY has red, silver, white, and black F-bodies. I haven't seen anything but those colors in weeks.

I haven't seen many f-bodies in this area at all. I saw a '10 orange ss with black stripes. There used to be tons of camaro's around here. Now they are scarce! Darn cash for clunkers!
