68 RS Z28 Color

[azcamaros]

I am assisting a friend with his restoration of 68 RS Z28. The car is an original Corvette Bronze Black Stripe RS car with parchment deluxe interior and factory cowl plenum air cleaner. The project is a complete frame off restoration using the original "born with" engine, trans and rearend. The sheet metal of this dry western car is incredible and is currently ready for final prime and paint (we have no paperwork on the car). The question I/we have is what color should it be painted? Yes, we know how rare and how cool Corvette Bronze is however the owner has his heart set on Tuxedo Black with white stripes. Any opinions out there regarding this color choice and the effect it would have the value of the car should he decide to sell it? I promise to post pictures as soon as it comes out of the booth to let you know what happened! Just for the record, Jim Rohn has already voted; Corvette Bronze.
