I've had an Olympic Gold Chevelle, love the color now and it's not the normal red, blue, black, yellow etc color you see ALL the time. I've had a Column Shift LS6, again, not the normal thing, it got lots of comments. I vote for keeping it original, I'm not a big fan of green interiors, but I am a big fan of original cars. My camaro convertible was dover white, not a fan of white cars, but I am really glad I kept it original, it was too original to change the color, which I came close to doing, glad I didn't.
It's different, thats for sure. If you get tired of it, you will get more bucks for it's originality and you can use the extra cash on something you like. Of course it's your car and you can and will do what you want to.

keep it original and finish it or sell it and get a car/color combo you like. if anything do a black int, stick with the gold paint.

A well done restoration, regardless of the color combination will be a stunning car. Most people thought that Burnished Brown and colors like Olympic Gold are unpopular. This is just not true. When done right they are quite beautiful and refreshing in a sea of the more commonly accepted colors. We are in the middle of a Royal Plum 67 Yenko, a color not seem much, and a Corvette Bronze 68 Yenko. Both highly unusual I would think. We will soon be starting a very rare Champage SS396/375 Camaro. One that I think will really be a stunner. If you keep it original, the car will speak for itself..BKH

What's the X code on the car? If it was a X66 the tailpan could be blacked out, along with a strip along the rockers. Olympic gold with those accents would be a good combo. And yes, I'd leave that interior green. Base coat clear coat make those old colors much better.

I agree with the purists. Gold and green.

I would change to Black interior. This story makes me think of an old lady that use to come in to the Esso station I worked at around 1971 or so. Brand new Cutlass,Copper in color with a piss green interior. I can remember evrybody going to look at it. Hard to believe you could even order it that way

original colors. cool and different. Tranny change and color change will decrease the value by the cost to return to correct ie. alot. Preserve history or sell it and get a dynacorn, crate motor, richmond 6sp and go nuts.
my opinion anyway good luck ![]() |
