Nothing wrong with Burgandy. I like that color. Dan S. is right </div></div>


Sammy I thought you might like a picture of my burgundy day2 Z back in the day. Probably 1977 I had this car, &amp; my orange z. Oh my every day driver was a vega gt.

We are going to pant my street car either burgundy of midnight blue. Burgundy is a desirable color. Just maybe not to the newcomer that looks at red, orange and black. It yours do what you want

Burgundy and red interior is one of my favorite combos.

However, I kinda prefer the '68 burgundy, whatever they called it at the time. And is it any coincidence that 1967's Royal Plum is one of my favorite colors period?

Rare color. Leave it orig color. The loss in value of a color change is more than a so called undesirable color that is original. My Z is burnished brown. Enough said!

What supposedly are the &quot;hot&quot; colors??? Lord I've seen a zillion LeMans and Fathom Z's, none of which appeal to me more than Hugger and Dusk

Hey now! You make it sound like burnished brown is an ugly color.
Not something I would walk into a dealership &amp; say I want this color but I wouldn't change it for love nor money.
IMHO Leave it the original color. Burgundy looks awesome!

Burgundy is a fabulous colour and you do not see it very often.
It is my favourite.


Someone used to attend our club show with a Burgundy Z.
It stood out from the crowd.

The same goes for Burnished Brown and Frost Green.
Two colours which are not common and stand our from the crowd.

I know, I wouldnt have ordered it that color, but I wouldn't change it either! Us burnished brown guys have to stick together!! I have only seen two other ones in person.

I agree on hurting the value with non original color. I bought mine because of the color
