Timely discussion for me as I've been struggling with this for three years and now that the car is in process it's time to make the decision. The car is a Build sheet legit ,71' LS5, M22 Chevelle that was born Mulsanne blue with Black stripes. The plan was ALWAYS Black with White stripes.
BUT, the part of me that has been collecting correct numbered thermostat housings and dated evap cannister is laughing at the idea of going that far with a rotisserie resto and painting the "wrong" color.
Previous posts are correct. It's about the buyer when it comes to valuation at the time of purchase.
I do agree that it can be a wash if the color isn't "desirable". The purist purchaser may devalue and walk but the ODDS of someone wanting Black or Blue is higher thus the pool of buyers gets larger...by a lot.
Which takes me back to mine. I really don't like many of the oe colors EXCEPT Black and Mulsanne. Hmmmm.
