That is a great shot and in colour! I have seen it in B+W and thought it might have been black, obviously not. The B+W shot was in the Feb '86 Smoke Signals and looks identical except the wipers aren't visible, so maybe there's a few similar pics.
The pic was provided by John Sawruk and is on "Black Lake" at the GM Proving Ground.

I agree with I.L. about red for the colour because there is an original photo of a very similar Knafel Magnum 400 in HPP (AUG 89 pg 35 if you care) that looks sort of Bronzey/Coppery but you can tell is Red. Very washed out looking Cardinal Red?

Thanks for posting this shot and look forward to seeing the website up and running.
Steve.
