There's only so many colors that look good with the French Vanilla (tan) interior IMO.
It was auctioned off by the CHP but through Downtown Ford in Sacramento. The assignment card shows it was still black and white at that point. There is no evidence of a repaint but Ron had told me that when he bought it in 1999 from a local resident, it was yellow. Plenty of time to have been repainted by one of the successive owners (2 at that point), but too much of a coincidence to be the same yellow as litsnsirn's car.
