Here's a current example.
A 70 Chevelle L34 396/350 Super Sport. The original color was Cortez Silver (12,959 built) and it's been changed to Fathom Blue (22,388 built) w/ a black vinyl top. The 350hp Chevelle has become coveted in recent years with their prices steadily rising. This one is currently
sitting near to 50K on eBay with 16 hours to go...but something tells me the bidding would be stronger if the car was in factory Cortez Silver.
Whatever it sells for, the buyer will now need to appreciate Fathom Blue or go through the expense of stripping the car to repaint all of the jambs and inner structure back to silver if they should decide to correct the car. That's likely a 20K procedure these days.
Note: Silver was a much rarer color according to production numbers noted above
On the flip side, someone who truly prefers fathom blue may be hoping to score this L34 car at reduced costs and may want to leave it that way, and simply enjoy it.
