I'm a bit confused over that one. In the engine close-up, it is clearly a two tone, red and yellow paint job but all the other pictures show a solid red.
I wonder what we are really looking at.

Look at the overspray everywhere:( especially in the back seat area.

The engine pic does show yellow, but the pic of the rear with the engine lid down is all red. I don't know, I think these pics have been messed with. you can see that it used to be green, they didn't paint the inside of engine compartment. The red paint almost looks like there's pearl or metalic mixed in.

Check out the rocker panels- no corrigation, just flat sheet metal. Looks like a hack job with a Maaco paint job. Not that I'm a snob- Mine's a hack job with a Maaco paint job too, but at least I went to the trouble of replacing my rusted metal with actual Thing panels. Nothing wrong with fixing up a Thing on a budget- better than sending it to the crusher- but 65 grand? Come on, now.
