Rare Color/Stripe combo

Recently a GTCS was sold by a guy in Portland (?) and it was Black with Red stripes, and a red (maybe dark red) interior. He claimed that was the original, and rare, combination :eek:

Are there any other Black/Red CS's out there? How about original black/red? Or are there any other color/stripe combos that are rare, or more rare ???

I knew a guy back in the '70s who had a yellow GT/CS with white stripes, and it was probably original. I've never seen another.

Is that considered rare because if the color was yellow, normally the stripes would be black?

Below is a pic of the black/red car I mentioned previously (I'm trying to attach it) ...

Also, I think that all GTCS stripes were non-reflective - are there any CS's with aftermarket reflective stripes?

Or how about a different color stripe (I've seen them offered)??

Maybe a black color with silver, pewter, or titanium stripes could look cool if one wants to be different 8)

Yes, all other yellow cars I've seen have had black stripes. The white on yellow was very subtle. It made the car look elegant rather than the mean look the black on white gives the cars.

Is the car being sold by the same owner, or a new guy who just bought the car and is now turning around and selling it??

How much is the asking price?

Don't know. I didn't want a black car so I didn't ask. Sorry.
