Looks to me like the white balance is a little off. There's more yellow from incandescent lights (or warm white bulbs) than sunlight. I'm not sure how that's affecting the green in the sewing machine though. That is a bright green though. All the 185s I've seen have been a paler green.

They both came in that color I think. My Gremlin was bright orangy red. With rally stripes, lol.

I know what the AMX is, a guy I went to high school with had one. I liked his Super Bee better. It was Chrysler orange. I had a '78 Camaro that was painted '69 Chrysler Panther Pink. Funny but true, the lady I bought it from had it painted that color because she had 3 teenage sons.

I'm guessing bad lighting. Not sure I'd pay that much though. Price seems high to me but that may be the going rate in your area. Good luck with your decision.

Oh, wasn't thinking of buying. The color just made me want to share it; either because might be true color or because someone is stupid enough to post a sale item with a cruddy picture!
