Hey Bkhpah, any chance you could post some pics (or e-mail) of that Dover white 375HP car? I personally am all over White, Silver, or Black cars with red interiors and red highlights. That car sounds stunning, and I'd love to see it.

I shouldn't have made the red suggestion on the Motion car, because I'm not a "resale red" guy. Its just the most striking 2nd gen Motion car I've ever seen was bright red with a White stripe and Black interior and big and little Cragar S/S's. So if I came to own a green one, that's what I'd be tempted to paint it. (And I'll agree the world certainly doesn't need any more red '70 SS Chevelles. There's a red on red '70 SS396 here in town that I like a lot, though.)

Even in color changes you can go off the beaten path and choose a color from that year that isn't seen often. We had a '67 SS396 Camaro, originally gold, that was very nicely redone in Tahoe Turquoise. This is a seldom seen color that really stands out today, and has aged well. I never heard a single negative comment about the color change, even though we were open about it. (They usually asked if it was a factory '67 color. We said it was, just not originally on this particular Camaro.) Don't restore for resale, restore for you. I personally don't go for color change cars, but I won't hold someone to task for restoring a car the way they would have ordered it new, rather than the way it was built.
