Jim I don't think it was the color that kept Eddie's car from selling. The 74 Hornet I bought 2 1/2 years ago was a 99% rust free car from Florida. It was orange with a puke tan interior with a horrible 70's style leisure suite plaid colored seat inserts in the seats. The 99% rust free and the 500$ sale price sold me on the car and fact it was a 74 Hornet Hatchback also sold me on the car. 74 Hornet's are my thing. I still have my bought new yellow one. I have learned to live with the orange color after I installed a whole new black interior and now when it will need paint it will be re-painted the same orange. My son was interested in Eddie's car but being a 71 with the Warner trans turned him off along with other issues in the pic's sent. Unless you are a low mileage car collector a rust free low mileage car can be re-painted and the interior re-done to your tastes. My low mileage 99% rust free car was a mechanical nightmare. But mechanical repairs are WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY cheaper than rust or previous collision damage to repair.
