69 BB MARO ROTISSERIE RESTO

[chevycopo]

I am doing a complete nut & bolt restoration on my 69 Camaro. Original auto BB car, Olympic Gold with Green, 723 I think, interior. I definitely do not like the color combination and want to paint it Lemans Blue/black int. The original seats are in very good condtion except for being soaked in mice piss so I will have to replace them anyway. My buddies have mixed emotions. Some say definitely ORIGINAL-worth more, others say paint it what you like. I will have well over 40k invested when this is done.I would appreciate some feedback. Please and thank you.

as ugly as it is, your car represents the styles and options of the time period. I say leave it as is. If you're going to change something, maybe replace the green interior with black. Olympic Gold is a great color.

Keep the colors, The car will look alot different to you with a killer flat paint job and new guts.
JMO.

I might be able to live with Oly Gold /Black int. The other thing I forgot to mention, its a t 400 on the column and I'm thinking doing a 4 or 5 speed. Any thoughts on that?
Thank you,

Honestly,if you're really that concerned about the financial return,I would sell it right now as is and find another car/color/options you prefer for the long run.
Otherwise I would restore it just as the factory built it and take pride in it,as I like your color combo/options.

I might be able to live with Black interior. What do ya think?
Thanks,
