I can think of a lot of nice color combinations! I'd encourage you to surf ebay for pictures and check out photos posted posted on this site as well as 442.com

I think seeing different colors painted on the same body style as your car will help you evaluate what you like. John

I would love to see more with my factory color... Silver Pewter Metallic.

I like these color setups also...

Paint the interior black and have more exterior color choices

Personally, I would leave it the factory color per the body tag, but that is me.

What's with the vinyl roof extending downward below the rear quarter window? Was it always like that?

Something 'lighter' would look better IMO.

ok, something is not right. Sterling Silver (14) in that pic for 1972 looks like uhh white. Plus it is called Silver Pewter Metallic.

Those pics samples suck. Need to see 'real' pics with good lighting and no camera flash.
