Marlboro Red

My Typhoon is red/red. The guy I bought it from told me this, as I hadn't ever seen a red/red typhoon that was stock.

When GM made the Marlboro Sy's, they also made two Marlboro Ty's, complete with Marlboro graphics. The two Ty's went to executives in the Marlboro company. They drove them as company cars for a little while, and then they were sold. The last known locations were in the UK somewhere, and in Japan somewhere.

While GM was painting the Sy's and Ty's, they continued to paint with the red/red color. Rumor has it, they painted 14 in the red/red. And halfway thru the 15th, they ran out of the paint, so they ended up repainting the 15th another color.

Does anyone have any information to confirm or dispell this? I want a new paint job, but if my color is truely this rare, I don't know if I would want to change it. I mean to actually find and be able to get ahold of one of these trucks is difficult enough... let alone a 1 in 14 color. Let me know... you won't hurt my feelings if I'm wrong.

They apple red/apple red combo was only available in 1993.GM didn't make the Marlboros.Marlboro bought 10 regular old syclones and had them painted red.The firewall was left the factory black.

Well in that case, I think when I can afford it, I will paint my truck silver. My Corvette will be silver when I get it (2030).

Red/Red is a somewhat rare color - it isn't as common as White/White. I wouldn't say it is Marlboro rare - and I don't think we'll get the number on how many red/red's were produced.

There is also a Silver/Silver here in MN. It looks SWEET! I've never seen the truck very close to see the quality of the paint job but it does look very cool.
