Default del sol 94 DOHC come in red color?

like the title sayed
any one know if a stock 1994 DOHC VTEC honda del sol come in red color
the reason i am asking is because 99% of the delsol i see around that's DOHC are black color and this one is red so i was woundering if it's the origional motor in there or not.
thanks Jeff

pop the hood. That would be my guess. I hope you can tell the different between a b-series motor and a d-series.

you can by looking for the DOHC VTEC sticker on the right side of the back trunk portion (right above the passenger tail light). or you can just take a peak through the window and look at the gauge cluster for an 8000 RPM redline.

Also the VTEC model has a different muffler than the other two. I can describe the difference but you can tell when looking, its noticeable. Also the VTEC NEVER came in samba green, that color was only 93/94 si. There was dark teal/green vtec model in 97 though.

Dunno if this is right or not but I was under the impression that the si had the low spoiler and the VTEC had the higher "touring look" spoiler. Anyone confirm this?

Nope. Only one spoiler style was offered. Most del Sol VTECs I see don't even have the wing.

you can maybe also tell by the rear Disc Brakes, pop the hood, Look at the Gauge Cluster and if it Redlines at 8000 you gots a winner...

To the best of my knowledge the color chart is accurate. It's generally regarded among the del Sol community as trustworthy. And FWIW, I've never heard of nor seen an OEM Captiva Blue VTEC.

It was bone stock and driven by an older man, looked to be about 45 or so.

It was blue. It said DOHC VTEC. It had the 8k redline.

Those fog lights are not model specific, they are year. 93-95 had them and 96-97 didn't.
