Was This A Real Factory Color?

Yes, it is an original color named "Deep Pink." I've seen only two-three cars in that color; yes, quite rare. I guess that it looks a little bit too much like a Barbie car or a Mary Kay Cosmetics color for most people.

By the way, I think that the owner is looking at Mark I (Bugeye) NADA values when he quotes an increase from $12,000 to $14,500. No square-bodied Sprites are selling in that range (except a couple of auction anomalies); only the Bugeye Sprites trade in that price/value range.
 
Nope NADA high retail is $14,700 and $28,800 on a BE
 
Holy Cow!! Are these prices realistic? They sure don't seem to reflect what is really happening, or am I that far out of touch?

I guess that we should admit that NADA does not just make stuff up, but I get out quite a bit and I'm not seeing any Midgets/Spridgets trade for that kind of money.

Maybe they're allowing a few auction results to skew the data?
 
Could be the auction prices, but I wouldn't think that NADA would be susceptible to that type of thing...
 
I agree, I am sitting on a fully restored '71 last year I couldn't get 10k, so she sits. I think a BE is more realistic at 22-23k high end.
