green and black stripes w-30

Dose anyone have a car with Sherwood green and black stripes? You have pics?
Other than the black, ill go with the white. I have to make a quick decision

The green is the factory color.

70 hard top w-30 with black interior. Current state attached, being striped as we speak.

thanks

Oh that black is really great. Don't do white, go with the black. What a stunning color combo!

X2, both of my Cutlasses are Sherwood green and the black is really nice. I do have a white stencil kit but the black appeals to me more,

Still torn on the color, just not feeling the green. Its a original w-30, kinda want to do blue w. black stripes, but not sure if it would effect the value alot

If it is a real W machine and Sherwood green then paint it correctly.

Funny that the interior color doesn't match the factory recommendations, but then again I'm not surprised. Black is a muscle car interior color.

Think of Sherwood Green as 'Racing Green' and that will ease your decision making. WTH Dave? You let your missus decide your car stuff? That's just not like you....

Is there any clue to the original stripe color? Personally like the Sherwood green with white stripes, though the gold stripes are interesting.

That's funny. I'm working on a 68 that was originally jade gold (very similar to yours) with a black fender stripe... and MY wife wants it green again, too...
