Default Re: Triple Green or Triple Black LS5

I would think changing the color would only increase the value.

OK, here is a poll question. Be honest!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Carnack predicts 9 to 1 ratio in favor of tri-black - but I am not trying to influence the voters. My point is, you might want to pose the question differently like "would you ever buy a tri-green car"? To compare it to something as devastatingly hot as a tri-black (particularly stripe delete) may be a bit unfair . My response is, it depends: Which motor, is the drivetrain original, is the car documented, does the car have an interesting history, what is the condition of the tri-green scheme. I will admit that the car would have to have most of these things aforementioned going for it in order for me to buy it, but I would definitely consider it. A dead-on paint job in a car with attention to detail in many respects can do a lot to overcome a less than desirable color scheme .
