I agree with Oldsmaniac. The car isn't original, so paint it whatever color you want. Most people won't be able to tell the difference between an SBO and BBO, so gold is the "sleeper" option. Bronze would be appropriate if you're building a 442 clone since the 400 motor was bronze. Red was used on the 425s that year and on 455s through 1969, with blue used in 1970. It's entirely your call. Personally I like sleepers...
