Color change on muscle car

[ryanchevelle]

Depends on the person and the exact car in question. For example I want a Monaco orange 70 chevelle. I wouldn’t buy a color changed car that was just painted Monaco orange regardless of how nice it was or the price point. I would however buy a real Monaco orange car that had been repainted another color with the intention on taking it back to orange even if it was priced at correct color value. If it was a more common color like say I wanted a cranberry car, id prob only buy if it was discounted enough to offset the price and time to take it to the correct color. And I’d prob just hold out to find the right car that’s done unless the price was good enough to justify the labor of love.

Great discussion, but to take it a step further, if a car was originally equipped with a vinyl top and subsequently removed during repaint/restoration, how does this affect the value? I would guess no decrease in value if the color was also changed, but what if the color remained as per trim tag...just the vinyl top removed?
