my 1973 BGT is also Blaze Red
I didn't mind buying it because it was going to be a donor to my
Primrose 73 GT.
In the end I ended up restoring the Blaze GT and canning the
damaged Primrose GT.
yes..I thought the color a bit funky too... but it grows on you.
It IS a very period type color.
My property manager loves the color too!
That's why I get away with working on them right in the parking lot
of the townhouses I live in.
The whole court loves to come over and look at my 'toys'!

Back in the late 70's / 80's everyone repainted the Blaze Red cars other
colors.
Hey That's OK. It just makes ours rarer. :-)
Plus there is NO WAY anyone that hits you can say they didn't SEE you!
