Andy,

Something is wrong with that Mars Red car. It's Mars Red. It's supposed 
to have turned orange by now. (Whether it is the original paint or has 
been repainted, take very good care of the paint. Wax it religiously. 
The Mars Red seems to be more prone to fading than other colors.) I also 
have a Mars Red '84 (84.5) and I'm going to have it repainted. Just 
trying to decide whether to paint it the original color or go for a 
"redder" red.
