Default Re: Paint color , will wrong color hurt the value

We are currently updating a number of items on a board members very unique Dover White/Red interior 375 radio delete 69' Camaro. The car is equipped with rally's red line tires, red hockey stick. It's a killer combination. Were are finishing a 427 COPO Harrell 69'Camaro. This car is a wild ride with an aluminium rear wing, dash top Sun tach, mag wheels etc. It is a CX turbo on the tree. The color is Fathom Green with 721 light green interior. This one is a very strange combination, but it looks very 60's. I cannot even imagine it any other way. Also did a Island Teal 68' Yenko Camaro. Rarely seen color, but simpley awsome when done. We restored a Rally Green 69' Yenko and that is a way over the top color. All these cars have a very unusual distinction that sets them apart from other cars. I understand what Tom 406 means about color to some people. But if these cars were repainted a more popular red, it would really take away from the spirit of the era. Nothing wrong with a real red car painted red. If you stick with the correct color, I think it pays off in the long run. Marlin's Yenko Deuce is Gobi Beige. It looks sweet in person. This would not be a lot of peoples first choice, but after seeing the car, it could not be any better in any other color...BKH
