Did you have it repainted in the car's original color? I had a '94 Diablo VT years ago in (what looks like) that same color. Color sticker called it "Oregon Red" and was a pearl orange color like yours. Last I knew of it, we had installed a set of 6.0 wheels on it before delivering to the next owner (which looked killer!).

And to continue this thread, I just got in #12454 which is also one of the '96 RWD cars. This one is Super Fly Yellow.

The color on 12443 is a 2007 corvette color (Atomic Orange). I believe that chevy brought it back again this year after a fews years absence. Not a Lambo color, but seems to fit the car well. The Oregon Red looks really nice as well.

Any reason why the car got repainted in a chevy color? Assuming it was repainted.....

 

 

Better than the original Titanium color and didn't see any Lambo colors that flipped my lid. Had some stone chips in the front (Hood, light buckets and both fenders) and one of the manifolds failed on the engine and the resulting impact generated cracking in the paint on the deck lid.

 

Had to get that fixed anyway so seemed like an opportune time to change the color.
