This is kind of a dumb question but I've been thinking about it for months and I could flip a coin.

I have a '70 Bee I'm stripping to bare metal and fixing a few dings on to get ready for paint. it's an original dark burnt orange car with a burnt orange interior, not a gross color scheme but since it's not a numbers matching car anyway I want something a little more flashy. I'm putting an all new Legendary interior in and the rest can by dyed so I am thinking plum crazy with a white interior and white stripes, or black interior I don't care. or sublime with a black interior black stripes and maybe a black vinyl top.

Both would look great but what would you do?
 
Purple and white are kind of common if you ask me. Seems I see more of those than orange/orange cars. Why not do an update and still retain a bit of original "lean" and paint it the current Go Man Go orange with the orange interior?
 
No offense my least favorite is sublime followed very close by plum :edgy: but its your car. Check out the orange car in the post below this one :yes: Yellow is my favorite color but not very popular. I have a brand c car I used to take to shows and heard people say " very nice car but don't like the color" Probably the rarest color on a muscle car tho :rolling:

Don't listen to this guy he as a 68 Satellite for Pete sakes! I prefer the purple, but Sublime seems to get a bit more attention? Plum Crazy is the # 1 color for Bee's in 70 and Sublime production is about half! Burnt orange doesn't pop the way the high impact colors do, but it still looks way cool!

68 Satellite I was just kidding, but I guess I forgot the smiley!
Sorry:)

If it's not # matching i would go with a newer or current color. if i had to pick between those two colors i would go with sublime plum crazy purple does nothing for me, just my opinion.
 
Interesting, not a real clear preference across the board. I think the plum is a real pretty color, I love it on an E body but I'll have to say on a B body it just isn't a knock out. Sublime is an ugly color, but it makes a great looking car.

I just couldn't ever paint a non original color on a classic even if I hated them all.

I agree for the most part! Plum Crazy is the most common color that people tend to use when they change from original. There is a reason for this? Everyone loves it except the two guys on this board:) i remembered the smiley!
I'm a purest! Keep it Burnt Orange!

Not pretty on a Bee's body? Your Crazy! Plum Crazy I say!

Interestingly enough I took the two pictures above just minutes apart and I must say that lighting is everything!

Burnt Orange. TOO MANY BEES REPAINTED PLUM CRAZY THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SOME OTHER COLOR. Kinda funny when I think about it, as everybody was painting the purple cars some other color back in the seventies and early eighties...

Igotta say Burnt Orange. It's a really pretty color when new plus nowhere near as common as Plum Crazy. Don't get me wrong though, I love Plum Crazy - just look at the car in my avatar :)
 
:grin: Kid I know you were just kidding Color is just what you like I'd paint it whatever you want ,I guess you asked which we'd choose between the two.Plum then. I actually have a 70 Challenger I'm planning on redoing that is factory Sublime. Would really like to paint black,it won't be sublime again :no:
