I love my 70 Bee, but really cant get over the white paint I would love a blue, purple or orange car but it's all original. I know they didn't make alot of white ones but that dosn't mean it's valuable and it's only paint right? I know if i change the color I'd also have to change the interior because it's dark green and also the top or just paint the top. Not sure witch way to go I don't plan on selling the car if anything give it to my son years down the road. side bee.jpg
 
It looks real nice to me ,it`s the first white I`ve seen :headbang:

I knew White cars could come with a Black vinyl top, but didn't know they could come with Dark Green interior in that combo...or is the top actually Green (looks Black in the photo)? What if you replaced the Black vinyl (unless it already is Green) with Dark Green and had a Green tail stripe painted on? It would be cheaper than a whole repaint, and different to boot.
 
I've been having the same dilemma with my Sport Satellite.
I can't get over the Moldy Green Exterior, And The Interior (Dark Green Also) Has limited combo choices.
Not too mention every Satellite I see seems to be this color (FF4)...

However, I can't rule out the possibility of Selling/Trading it in the future like the OP has.
 
WOw I really like it the way it is. I would leave it personally and if possible find something else to modify.

Wow! that's a sharp ride, It looks great to me. If you want to change up the white hood to a flat black to off set the white, might me an ideal, but the white looks very clean.
 
I think that combo of white with dark green roof looks classy. If I saw that car at a show, it would draw me over faster than an impact colour would. I wouldn't change a thing on it!
 
I've been kicking around the idea of painting my 69 Coronet, white. Now that I see yours it' a definite possibility. I really like the way it looks, don't change it. Other than the interior, that green's gotta go! LOL
 
Yes it's a green Top. The colors are correct for the car and I have gotten alot of comments at shows about the color combo that you just don't see a white 70 Bee with a green top everyday. Car will start comming apart over the winter so I have time to deside.
 
I love it!

Don't change it if original. I was on the fence years ago about another car and was going to change the color and I'm glad today I did not.
 
Change it!! If your thinking about it,you know the answer.It's your car,YOU have to like it.

Here's a pix of my 70 Bee which was originally white, I had it repainted FC7 and the guy I sold it to didn't mind...just my $.02

White. Looks great. Wear it out before the kids get it.
 
Mine came burnt orange. I hate it and plan on changing the color. But I love the white, only seen them in pics. That thing would look great leaving it white with a gator skin top & either white or black interior. But that's just one mans opinion, its your car do as you wish.
 
its alot of work to change the color the right way, looks pretty darn nice to be getting into all that in my opinion. think i would experiment with maybe a C stripe, some wheels, and play with the stance. i would probably change the color of the top and interior if it were mine. i have a 71 challenger with the same green/white color combo. when i do that i know the top and interior will not be green.
 
Everone has great points maybe just through a set of black steels on there to break up all the white and save myself a boat load of money.
 
Post a pic with the change in wheels. I may seem like an odd ball to the rest of you but I cant stand the look of Rallys on a B body. I like steelies or magnums better. However I think the Rallys look good on Challengers & Cudas.
 
There are so many very nice custom colors now........the choices are endless.......make it your own and paint it a nice custom color.......just my opinion

Leave it alone if it is number matching. It's real cool. In my opinion you would be devaluing your car if you do. I think if you ask around like Mecum and others they would tell you the same.
