I've never seen an Orange Crossfire before. Right now there is one on ebay. I first assumed it was a repaint, but if it was, it's very good. The engine compartment is Orange, and there is no evidence of repaint around the door jam decals. I checked the Chrysler paint chart and there was no Orange for the Crossfire. In addition, the 2006 Crossfire Brochure does not show it. Any other thoughts or explanation?

I've never seen that colour before and it shows no sign of being a colour change...........is this the holy grail?

 

Looks red to me, the whole pictures colors are off.

 

looks red to me also

 

The seller put in the listing detail that the exterior is orange. In the listing comments he called it copper orange color.

 

Either a repaint or someone was able to pull some strings at the factory and get a custom color. I like the color myself.

 

I like it.

 

It's my favorite color, it's the color I always planned on using if I found another XF that may need a paint job.
IMO, there's no way it's factory.
If the car was a coupe, and a 6 spd. I'd be all over it.
But on 2nd. thought, it seems I remember seeing a photo of a coupe that looked very similar to it somewhere on the web a while back. At the time I just dismissed it as being red with bad lighting. But it was a bright sunny day just like the photo of the roadster.

 

It reminds me of the color Dodge used on their Copperhead concept car. Yes that is a unique color but I must assume it's a rotisserie repaint, I've never heard of a Crossfire in that color.

 

From the e-Bay listing just above the questions...

"On Mar-11-15 at 06:39:09 PDT, seller added the following information:

Color is a crystal red. This car has not been repainted"

 

I said in post #3 that the all the colors in the pics were wrong.
I just clicked on the 'Auto Color' button in Picasa 3 and got this result.

The colors look normal now.

 

Still looks copper/orange to me.
Makes me wonder if whoever wrote up the e-bay listing actually ever saw the car in person and was working only from the photos. Why else would it be described as "copper/orange" when it is red in the real world?

 

I could make it redder, I said that I hit one button on Picasa and that's what resulted.
I'll make it redder, watch this space.

 

I wrote to them yesterday, (as other Crossfire owners probably did) and asked if they knew the actual name of the color that was used to "repaint" the car.

 

That looks like the exact color I want 2 two tone mine in.
""Sunburst orange""
And it is a factory dodge color.

 

Please do, so we stop all this orange talk. I have to admit though, it would be cool, also Chryslers deep copper from the late '60s. I had two cars that color, a '67 R/T 440 and a '70 Challenger 340 Sixpack.

 

This is starting to sound like "#TheDress"....LOL

 

Definitely looks like a Blaze Red in bright light with a filter used, especially when you look at the side in the shade. The dress...lmao

 

There has got to be someone in Oklahoma City that will look at it

 

Why bother talking about the color as the ad has been changed to include the fact that it is indeed a red car and that there was no respray.
