Default Re: Paint color , will wrong color hurt the value

I looked at real Harrell paperwork and the word Camero was used many times. Still spelled that way today with over 35 years of practice. The winged COPO Harrell has 8 holes for the wing, no additional holes. The COPO Harrell is a Bill Allen car. Same as Joe's Harrell Chevelle. We have a limited amout of Ed Black memorabilia. It's tough to find being so far away. I will post pictures if Marlin can give me a hand. I will post update pictures of the Harell COPO if we can do that as well. The Harrell cars are finally starting to get the recognition they derserve. Without his help Yenko, Nickey, Gibb, and many others may not have had the success they had..BKH

When I was buying my Deuce, I forgot to ask what the color was, even after the third phone conversation. I had no idea what Gobi Beige looked like, nor did I really care. Once I committed to buying the car, sent a deposit and actually saw the color, I thought about painting it Fathom Blue. The seller's opinion was; 'it's your car, paint it any color you like', not surprising - he already had my money!!

It took a few months, but after seeing the Wargo car, the beige grew on me to the point where I really liked it. Only 6 beige cars have been found out of 25 made (the lowest percentage, 24%), why? everybody repainted them something else - thereby losing a lot of the Yenko identity. It's cool having a different colored car, especially a Yenko because people instantly think that it's a clone when they say, "Yenko didn't make them in that color". So, I also think it's best to keep the original color. You don't have to make any excuses, you won't blend into the sea of red and blue at a show, and when you sell - somebody like the members here will certainly buy it.

I personally really like Frost Green RS Z28's, as well as the '67 color Mountain Green?? I need to win the lottery!!
