This is a most interesting thread....It has always been my opinion that any musclecar that is to be considered "collectible," should be painted the original color. I currently own a Forest Green '70 LS6 Chevelle coupe. It is a matching numbered, documented, desirable car, currently being the earliest documented LS6 known about,a "pilot" car, and also a courtsey car for a zone rep. I never gave two seconds consideration to the color being hard to sell, only that the car itself was righteous. I will admit that the interior compliments the exterior, and really sets it off (Forest Green exterior, saddle buckets, white stripes), which was a huge plus. The car probably wouldn't look as good to me if it had a black or green interior. I always get compliments on the cars' color combination whenever I take it out. I could have repainted it "re-sale" red, but to be honest... WHY??????? The documentation and car should stand on its' own, not whether it is a "desirable" color as opposed to a "non-desirable," one. I'll let everyone else go buy non original colored red LS6's and blue Camaros, but give me something different. Just my take on it.
