Default SPECIAL ORDER COLOR 70 CHEVELLE QUESTIONS

My buddy has a 1970 Chevelle Super Sport Car that was a special order paint color. The color was citrus green, he is not too fond of repainting the car this color when restoring it.. He was wondering if it would hurt the value of the car if he painted it another "more desirable color". Below are the pictures of the trim tag, build sheet and original green paint located in the door jam area.... What are your opinions??????

Sorry for the small pictures.. On the build sheet it says: 2P3 SPCL PAINT and the area that is circled says: USING 927-99846 GREEN A.L. FOR BODY.

Thanks.... Rich

Do you know how RARE Citrus Green is on a 1970 CHevelle. I say leave it Original! I would if it were mine, JMO.

Others may say.... since it`s Special Order paint.....you could choose any 1970 Blend of GM paint.

TOTALLY disagree with that logic.

The cool thing about this car is that it has the color code on the data plate, so the original color won't be lost to posterity. While I feel the car should go to a person who will respect its pedigree, at least he knows if he changes the color it won't be a total loss.

IMO i think who ever owns that car and does not choose to put back the Citrus Green will be a big mistake.
That color is Nice. Maybe these photos will change your mind.My vote is putting back the color the car was born with.

Citrus is a rare and, more importantly (IMHO), a desirable paint color on a 70 ChevelleSS. There was a fellow who posted an original paint w restored frame LS6 around here maybe 5 to 6 yrs ago. I believe he got a nice premium for the color when he sold it (I made an offer that was not accepted). Rich, for me this is a no-brainer. I would not even consider a color change.
