Change color, or not?

DSCN0815.jpgI'm saying stay with the F8.
 
Thanks for all the advice. I think the color will grow on me. The pictures of fresh paint helped, looks great. Any advice on the Ziebart holes in the door jamb area, plug weld or leave. I know it was done in the early 70's.
 
that paint will buff out beautifully, use a wool bonnet with an orbital, and 3m fine buffing compound it comes in a plastic bottle, dont use anything but the fine grade, dont use a DA grinder as a buffing tool or you'll burn the paint if you press too hard. If you press too hard with an orbital it just stops spinng, no burning.

the charger I bought went way cheap cause the paint was badly oxidized, I brought it back to life doing the 3m WOOL bonnet thing. The seller shat himself when he saw the paint. as long as the paint isnt chalky it'll come back
 
It looks a little late in the game to be considering the survivor route with the car stripped and on a rotisserie. I notice all of the pictures of the car intact are dated 10 years ago, so assume the car has seen some wear and tear since then. Original paint color may not matter since from the pictures it looks like you may be adding a rather large mower deck. I would bet that thing will do a really fast job on the lawn when done. LOL

Seriously, I would keep the paint the original color if it has never seen a repaint.
 
I have the same color on my 69 charger with 37000 miles. Truthfully I wished I would of changed the whole car, I am not going to live forever and I am not 18 yrs old and it is my car not everyone else's. I will never get the money out of the car I have put into it but it will be just like the day it came from the factory. White vinyl roof and stripe delete. Why did I build my car the way everyone else wanted it to be. I have no fricking clue other than it would of cost a ton of money to change all the interior to another color. It will be nice other then it is now 3 months behind my deadline and the body of coarse is still not painted. I am just saying, but next time I am changing the entire car. Here is picture of her just waiting on the normal no big hurry body shop, oh and don't forget he has 90% of the money and no paint yet.image.jpg
 
Duda you're absolutely dead on, unless it's an investment do it the way you want.
 
I think that green is a nice color.
It's understated and all business like.
 
This is a friends car.Real Roadrunner,stick car.Original color was B5 blue:blob1:

If it's a numbers matching, i've heard that keeping it the original color makes it much more desirable (i.e. also worth more $$$). Co-worker of mine owns a 69 Camaro SS L89. It's a very rare car and because of that kept that car all original. Cars where it's 1 of a few hundred are collected by people who care about those sort of things.
 
Don't change it!!...It'll stand out in the sea of lime green and purple 6 barrel '70 Road Runner's you normally see at the shows...at least here on the west coast most of the 70's are those colors.
