IMHO you're putting up the money to restore it so choose the exact color that you want. If you were going to the dealer to buy a new car and loved the blue one you wouldn't pick the white one because the trade in value might be higher.

Jamesbo

Seem like I read somewhere [and the more learned like W machine can chime in] that in a show points were not deducted for a change in color as long as the change was to a color avaliable that year.

Paint it whatever color you want. If you haven't done a frame off restoration then you don't have to worry about keeping things "factory original."

Bluevista

According to the OCA Nationals show car rules as long as the car was available in the color originally you can change it.

Jamesbo

Sorry,

I neglected the learned Blue vista [ a great American] and winner of many prestigeous awards.

I have the "Coveted" dash - custom color code and I have a Rallye Red car, which had a number (78 I think) also ...

What is up with that ..?

I thought you could order '"Custom" colors from Olds in '70 ...

Unless its a super rare car and its a proper color change I doubt it will hurt the value. As long as you don't pick a real ugly color.But remember its your car and your the one who is going to drive it everyday so paint it what ever color you want.
