Color change on muscle car

[RJS]

All these answers are spot on IMHO. I for one always pass on a color change car and as said it's even more costly in the present to correct a car back to original.
The other situation we didn't touch on is a custom color like Viper Red or a Indigo Blue ETC... That makes me not even read the ad!!

I’d say that’s a valid opinion, and I certainly agree that you only live once and enjoy what you have how you want. However the question was how much will you lose and that’s relative to the situation but as a question of average loss across multiple cars I would bet a color change is 20 to 30% of value lost.

Now I’d also say that varies by kind of car a Camaro, Chevy guys tend to care a little less than say Pontiac guys who are purists to the core . (Evidenced by day 2 pervasiveness)

Camaros are. A little harder to document (no phs or marti report ) original equipment and I think that has lended itself To a Little more leniency in many changes.
Although a color is easily present and verifiable on a cowl tag where many other changes may not be quite so in your face.
Just my 02 that’s probably worth .01 or less .
