Re: paint color
Most collectors of rare cars, such as copo, yenko, and motion will expect the original color. When selling, expect a 10-15K drop in selling price for the next owner to repaint. Just depends on if the car is going to be sold right after painting or the owner is getting some enjoyment out of the car before selling to offset the lower selling price do to color change.

Re: paint color
Well, I'm certainly the wrong person to ask about changing a colour from Lemans Blue as it has always been my favourite GM colour. Black is certainly cool, and a Black COPO would be even more cool, but for such a unique car I agree with the others.

Re: paint color
Lemans Blue is just as nice as a black car,why bother?
I agree with everyone else and personally i have never bought a car with a color change from what it was born with.

Re: paint color
LB COPO Chevelle how many of those are around? Not as many as there are Black chevelles which shouldn't be, that's for sure. LB is my favorite GM color.

Re: paint color
There was an Olympic Gold Berger COPO Camaro that was foolishly redone in Garnet Red a few years ago. It was widely criticized. I believe it finally sold and has been corrected.
